Three Partners. One Vision.

Building a premier academic medical center and destination for the most advanced care, research and education

We’re building a brand-new destination for state-of-the-art care—with patients, members and our communities in mind.

A sweeping community development by Henry Ford Health, Tom Gores and the Detroit Pistons, and Henry Ford Health + Michigan State University Health Sciences intends to turn Detroit’s New Center neighborhood into a vibrant, walkable community with state-of-the-art residential, commercial, retail, recreational and health care components. The $3 billion Future of Health: Detroit investment underscores all three partners proud history of innovation and community-focused initiatives.

Beyond construction, we are building a brighter, healthier future for Detroit. Sign up for the Future of Health: Detroit e-newsletters and check out new community resources.

We believe the best is yet to come.
