Sparrow is your hometown health system
Sparrow is the Lansing area’s only community-owned, community-governed health system. We’re a not-for-profit organization, and our board is made up of local leaders who call Mid-Michigan home. Our patients are also our neighbors, family and friends.
Sparrow’s impact is felt across Mid-Michigan at more than 150 sites of care: at E.W. Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, community hospitals in Carson City, Charlotte, Ionia and St. Johns, and the 478 Sparrow primary care providers and specialists serving patients across the region.
Our mission is to improve the health of the people in our communities by providing quality, compassionate care to every patient, every time.
