Henry Ford Health


Henry Ford Health is an integrated, not-for-profit health care organization in the U.S. state of Michigan. Headquartered in Detroit, Henry Ford Health is the second-largest health system in Michigan, operating 13 hospitals across the Detroit, Flint, and Jackson areas. Henry Ford established the health system in 1915, and it is currently run by a 15-member board of directors. Henry Ford Health also owns the health insurance company Health Alliance Plan.

History

In March 2012, Henry Ford Health System closed its hospital in Warren, Michigan.
Henry Ford Health System announced in March 2022 that they would rebrand as Henry Ford Health, dropping the word "system" from their name to put greater emphasis on the word "health."

Ascension joint venture

On October 18, 2023, Henry Ford Health announced plans to create a joint venture with Ascension, assuming the Metro Detroit and Flint operations of Ascension Michigan. Under this arrangement, Ascension controls a 20% ownership and voting stake in the combined organization. The joint venture was finalized on September 30, 2024.
Under the arrangement, hospitals formerly owned by Ascension will continue to be designated as Catholic institutions, and continue to follow Catholic healthcare guidelines, and as such will not offer abortion, birth control, tubal ligation, or gender-affirming care services. Facilities owned by Henry Ford prior to the joint venture will remain secular and continue to offer these services.

Hospitals

The Henry Ford Health provides acute, specialty, primary and preventive care services backed by research and education. Henry Ford Health directly operates ten emergency departments. All of the hospitals operate an emergency room along with Henry Ford Health medical centers in Dearborn, Grosse Pointe Farms, Plymouth, and Sterling Heights. There is also a Henry Ford Health Center in Brownstown Charter Township.
