GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Two hospitals in the Grand Rapids area are nearly full this week.

A representative for Corewell Health says Butterworth Hospital and Blodgett Hospital are both busy but are still accepting patients. Corewell Health says patients seeking care may experience longer wait times, but they are not deferring care or rerouting patients to other hospitals.

There is no particular health issue contributing to high inpatient numbers, health officials add.
