Explore the Offield Family Pavilion

Our new wing opened for patients on August 14. See what's inside.

The Offield Family Pavilion features 10 new and much larger Operating Rooms (ORs). Each room is equipped with 4K technology that offers four times the resolution of HD and provides surgeons with superior image detail and clarity. Streaming options give surgeons access to worldwide experts if desired. Ceiling mounted booms keep equipment nearby and floors clear. The ORs are located next to the new sterile processing department, creating efficiencies for both areas. The Offield Family Pavilion is an incredible new addition to the Petoskey Campus of McLaren Northern Michigan. With 182,000 square feet of space, this wing offers 104 new private patient rooms, 10 new operating rooms, and enhanced technology throughout.

Heather Lewis, RN, stands in the new Cardiovascular Unit in a private patient room overlooking Little Traverse Bay. All patient rooms now have Stryker iBeds, which are customizable, including safety alarms for every patient condition to prevent injury. The bedside tablet in each private patient room is one of the features of the smart technology found throughout the hospital. With myriad apps and hospital-related features to educate, communicate, and entertain, this tool helps patients stay connected to loved ones as well as relevant medical information. Also found in each room, electronic whiteboards and room signs that share real time data about patients, their care plans, and their medical team. Electronic white boards provide up-to-the-moment information to patients and family, such as the care plan for the day, current care team members, special needs, dietary restrictions, and fall risk and alerts.

The Concourse Level features multiple seating areas in a calming atmosphere, with a hanging glass sculpture overhead. A private waiting room in the Intensive Care Unit offers comfortable seating and a quiet place for visitors.

A circular information desk provides a welcoming area for patients and visitors as they enter the Main Entrance.
