CRNA CRNA - Michigan

With a population of almost 200,000, Grand Rapids is a city where you can enjoy fast-paced excitement and laid-back leisure. From a walkable downtown bustling with dining, nightlife, and culture... to a grand outdoors featuring outdoor ice skating, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing and more... it's the best of both worlds.

Known for its unique combination of urban sophistication and small-town warmth, Grand Rapids is located in Western Michigan on the banks of the legendary Grand River. Incorporated in 1838, today, the community is rated among the top cities in the U.S., combining family-friendliness with safety, cleanliness, and an uncommon commitment to enterprise. Businesses tend to thrive here because of the region's famous work ethic and a historical commitment to the value of innovation.

Designed as a "walking" city, the downtown features a modern arena, a major new convention center, plenty of nightlife, and several five-star hotels and restaurants. Located just minutes away from the splendor of Lake Michigan beaches and dozens of quaint lakeshore towns and villages, Grand Rapids has developed a regional reputation for major artistic and cultural events, a full calendar of stage plays and concerts, four outstanding museums, and a world-class botanical garden and sculpture park.

Best of all, this vibrant and growing city infuses these amenities with Midwestern civility and charm. The relaxed atmosphere of the diverse neighborhoods, the sheer variety of boutique shopping areas, and the commercial energy found within the bustling downtown area are testaments to the enduring success of the public/private partnership that continues to make quality of life the very highest priority.
