City officials are celebrating the start of construction on a significant expansion project at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.
A groundbreaking ceremony took place Thursday, Sept. 12, at the hospital. The new expansion project, Destination: Grand, will be developed on the same block where Henry Ford Hospital first opened nearly 110 years ago.
At $2.2 billion, it is Henry Ford Health’s largest investment in Detroit to date. The 1.2 million square foot facility will include a new emergency department, operating rooms, interventional radiology, cardiology and vascular labs, and a patient tower.
“It’s a project our own hospital team members have named Destination: Grand,” said Henry Ford Hospital CEO Dr. Steven Kalkanis. “Which is a wonderful play on words because the future of health will be a beacon of destination care with grand aspirations, right on West Grand Boulevard, in the city we never left, in the city we’ve loved for 109 years and counting.”
Henry Ford Health anticipates seeing its first patient in the new hospital by the end of 2029.
