Minutes from Lansing's flagship regional hospital

East Lansing sits immediately adjacent to Lansing, home to University of Michigan Health-Sparrow's 733-bed flagship teaching hospital (documented in this project's companion lansing-mi.js record) -- a real, genuine healthcare-access advantage from East Lansing's own location, without duplicating that hospital's own city-specific content here.

MSU-affiliated healthcare and research resources

Michigan State University's own healthcare and research presence, including its College of Human Medicine, adds a real, additional local healthcare-access dimension distinct from a typical non-university city of similar size.
