Henry Ford breaks ground on .2 billion hospital expansion project

Detroit — Henry Ford Health officially broke ground Thursday on its $2.2 billion expansion in the city’s New Center area, a project that will include a new hospital with an emergency department, operating rooms, intensive care units, a rehabilitation clinic, and a 20-story patient tower.

Hospital officials and state and local leaders celebrated the occasion at a groundbreaking ceremony at the future hospital site on West Grand Boulevard west of M-10, directly across the street from Henry Ford’s main campus. The project is expected to take five years to complete and the new hospital will see its first patients by the end of 2029, Henry Ford Health said.

“We are so excited to give our team members a world-class space that matches their world class talent,” Henry Ford CEO Bob Riney said. “We are setting the stage for Detroit to become the national academic medical headquarters.”

Just across the M-10 Freeway, other parts of the expansion project are already underway. Construction of the $300 million Henry Ford Michigan State Health Sciences Research Center began in June. The facility will house the Nick Gilbert Neurofibromatosis Research Institute, named for Dan and Jennifer Gilbert’s late son who passed away from complications related to the condition in 2023.
