Henry Ford Hospital
Henry Ford Hospital, Medical center in Detroit, United States
Henry Ford Hospital is a medical center in Detroit, Michigan, built in the Georgian style with symmetrical red brick wings and tall multi-pane windows. The complex groups around a central main entrance on West Grand Boulevard and spreads across several connected buildings.
The facility opened in 1915 and joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It witnessed Detroit's industrial rise and the city's later transformation over more than a century.
The name honors the industrialist who founded the institution to care for workers and their families regardless of background. Today patients from across the region come to the facility, which combines teaching and research with daily medical care as part of a larger health system.
Access begins through the main entrance on West Grand Boulevard, where visitors are directed to different specialized departments. Pathways within the complex are signposted, and information desks help with orientation.
The center developed mechanical heart pumps in the mid-20th century, advancing modern cardiology. It also pioneered new approaches in neurosurgery over the following decades.
