Overview
- Covenant HealthCare and MyMichigan Health each pledged $40 million, marking the largest donations in CMU’s history.
- The expanded campus will be called the Covenant HealthCare College of Medicine at Central Michigan University.
- CMU selected a site on the MyMichigan Health campus within Saginaw’s planned medical-diamond hub, moving from the previously identified downtown riverside lot.
- A fundraising feasibility study led CMU to narrow the project to a $100 million building-focused plan, with about $10 million still to raise.
- Officials plan to consolidate all four years of medical education in Saginaw, enabling earlier clinical exposure and added capacity, with construction expected to take three to four years after a 2026 start.
