Background
The Insight Psychiatric Hospital is now open and caring for patients. The hospital is a dual-diagnosis facility, being able to provide care to patients who are in need of in-patient medical diagnoses as well as psychiatric diagnoses. Patients will be admitted from referring public safety agencies, area hospitals, and community clinics. In 2021, the State of Michigan granted Insight the certificate of need (CON) to proceed with a 70-bed in-patient med-psych specialty hospital in Flint, MI. A grant from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services funded a portion of the construction for the first phase which was announced in October 2023. The City of Flint has also provided financial support to Insight’s behavioral health programs. The former GM building was part of the Fisher Body No. 1 plant until it was retrofitted into an engineering and design center as part of the Great Lakes Technology Center before becoming Insight’s Flint Medical Campus starting in 2009.
