I just got back from Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle after a couple of days of treatment [[incomplete treatment due to some cock up, though), and they've got a really nifty set up I've never seen before. The hospital is on Seattle's First Hill, a mixed residential/commercial neighbourhood [[called Pill Hill because of the number of hospitals in the area), and VM owns two converted apartment buildings that they operate as hotels, open to the public, but geared towards people using the VM's services. They're not fancy, but the rates are excellent, and connected [[one hotel) or within a half block [[the other) of the hospital. Nifty idea.

So, any of the destination medical centers in the Detroit area offer a setup like this?

I think it's a clever concept.
