A Statement Regarding the Tragic Incident at Henry Ford Hospital

We are heartbroken by the loss of Latricia Green, our beloved Henry Ford Health team member for more than 20 years.
 
At Henry Ford Health we are family, and we are hurting. We recognize that while this attack was targeted, a deep emotional impact is rippling across our workforce and our community.

We continue to cooperate with the Detroit Police Department investigation. At the same time, our own internal investigation into how this violence made its way into our place of healing is underway. We are committed to scrutinizing our security measures and taking meaningful steps to enhance the safety and security of our facilities.
  
Confidential counseling services are available for any team member who needs them. We also acknowledge the difficult reality of domestic violence and encourage our team members to take advantage of internal resources and members of the community to utilize the national domestic violence hotline by calling 1-800-799-SAFE or texting “START” TO 88788.

At Henry Ford Health, we are family. We are devasted by the loss of our Henry Ford Hospital teammate and our hearts go out to her loved ones—her family, friends, and the people she worked with every day. Police have confirmed this was a targeted act of domestic violence. At this time, all questions regarding what occurred should be directed to the Detroit Police Department. We are cooperating with their investigation and are conducting our own internal investigation as well.

We understand this tragedy is wide-reaching and we recognize and sympathize with the pain this has caused. We are providing resources to our team members who are dealing with the impacts of this tragic incident. The safety and well-being of our patients, visitors, and team members is our greatest priority. 

The hospital is back open to all patients and visitors.
