Medical center opts for new name

Ingham Regional Medical Center has changed its name to McLaren-Greater Lansing as the hospital's owner pushes to unify its brand throughout the state. Ingham Regional is owned by Flint-based McLaren Health Care Corp. Its Ingham Regional Orthopedic Hospital is now McLaren Orthopedic Hospital. The hospital's local competitor—Sparrow Health System—pursued a similar goal when it unveiled a new logo and marketing campaign in April 2010.
