Sparrow & Community Health

Sparrow is a not-for-profit organization and Lansing, Michigan’s only community-owned, community-based health system. We deliver quality care that’s close to home.

Sparrow offers programs and services to encourage a healthy lifestyle and active living for people in the Mid-Michigan community.

The charitable division of Sparrow Hospital, we are passionate about providing the highest quality healthcare to everyone, every time.

Sparrow Health System was born out of volunteerism and that spirit of community service still endures today. Learn more about becoming a volunteer.

Our Annual Reports detail the tremendous work of our caregivers toward providing quality, compassionate care to Mid-Michigan.

Sparrow is a growing health system with two Lansing campuses, hospitals in St. Johns, Ionia, Carson City and Charlotte, as well as dozens of satellite care centers, Physicians Health Plan, Sparrow Care Network, the Sparrow Medical Group and the Sparrow Michigan Athletic Club (MAC). 

The Sparrow Health Sciences Library supports the institutional mission of Sparrow Health System by providing access to comprehensive fully digital evidence-based resources for all Sparrow Caregivers.

At Sparrow, we've come a long way, from the day in 1896 when eight strong women decided to fill Lansing's hospital void over a game of cards, to the expansive health system with 115 sites of care across Mid-Michigan we are today.
