2025 Mellus Hospital Heritage Day - Brighton, MI

Mellus Hospital Heritage Day - Register on the Right! 

The Brighton Area Historical Society, in proud partnership with the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce and Trinity Health, invites you to a heartfelt celebration:

Mellus Hospital Heritage Day! We will walk through time, chat with historians, guided tours, learn about the rich history of Mellus. 

Light refreshments, personalized gift included in the registration fee. 

Join us as we honor the rich history and lasting legacy of Mellus Hospital a cornerstone of care, connection, and community in Brighton since 1931. Constructed by Dr. Horace Mellus, the iconic two-story Georgian-style building perched on the hill just north of downtown was Brighton's first official hospital and a symbol of progress and compassion.

This special event highlights the spirit of service and the enduring connections between our town's past and present. Our celebration will be elevated by keynote speaker Dave LewAllen, Brighton High School graduate, Mellus Hospital baby, and retired Channel 7 News anchor who brings both personal insight and professional storytelling to the stage.

We are also honored to welcome John O'Malley, President of Trinity Health Livingston, who will share a few words on the continued legacy of healthcare and community support in our region.

We hope you will join us for this meaningful day of remembrance, recognition, and community pride.

Tours, historical chats, meet those that have the rich history of Brighton.
