Pulse Primary Care to Establish Michigan HQ, Create 600 Jobs with State Grant

LIVONIA, Mich. — Pulse Primary Care, a national medical services provider, announced plans to establish its headquarters in Livonia with the help of a $3.45 million state grant, creating nearly 600 high-paying jobs. The Michigan Business Development Program grant, awarded by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, will support the company’s $10.5 million investment in a new facility that will serve as a technology hub and training center for its Care Managers.

The new jobs will offer wages ranging from $24 to $55 per hour, plus benefits, according to a press release from Whitmer’s office. Pulse Primary Care CEO Dr. Belal Abdallah emphasized the company’s commitment to growth and innovation, stating, “Our decision to build a headquarters here is a strategic decision that reflects our commitment to excellence and growth.”

Maureen Donohue Krauss, president and CEO of the Detroit Regional Partnership, praised the move, saying, “Pulse Primary Care’s expansion demonstrates that the Detroit region is not only great for business but also a fantastic place to live.” The company aims to hire over 500 skilled healthcare professionals in Michigan over the next five years, focusing on addressing nationwide healthcare staffing shortages.

In addition to job creation, Pulse Primary Care plans to develop new technologies to improve healthcare delivery and provide career advancement opportunities through skill development programs, associate degrees, and advanced degrees. The company’s long-term vision includes making a lasting impact on communities across the country.

Meanwhile, Gov. Whitmer also announced support for housing projects across Michigan, including the creation of more than 850 new housing units in Pontiac, Lansing, and Detroit. These projects, backed by $79.2 million in Transformational Brownfield Plan funding, aim to address housing shortages and drive economic growth. Developer Dennis Griffin highlighted the significance of the Pontiac project, calling it a “catalytic mixed-use development” that will reimagine the community.

In Detroit, the Arthur Murray Building renovation received a $2.4 million performance-based loan, bringing 32 new housing units and nearly 8,000 square feet of commercial space to the area. Developer W. Emery Matthews praised the public-private collaboration, stating, “This project is a testament to the power of public-private collaboration in creating meaningful impact.”

Lansing Mayor Andy Schor expressed enthusiasm for the New Vision Lansing project, which will add over 560 housing units to the city. “This project will change both the trajectory of our city and our skyline,” Schor said, emphasizing the potential for a more vibrant downtown and Old Town areas.
