History
Sparrow Hospital was founded in 1896, when the Women's Hospital Association supported one doctor and one nurse out of a rented house.
In 1910, Lansing developer Edward W. Sparrow donated land on East Michigan Avenue near the Michigan State Capitol and $100,000 to help build the hospital. The hospital opened in 1912.
In 2008 a 10-story addition, the Sparrow Tower, was completed. The $160 million, 450,000-square-foot (42,000 m2) addition houses the hospital's emergency departments.
