Henry Ford Health plans 'transformational' $2.5B hospital, developments with Pistons, MSU

(Detroit News) Detroit — Henry Ford Health said Wednesday it's pursuing a $2.5 billion development plan over the next decade with the Detroit Pistons and Michigan State University that would create a new hospital, a medical research facility as well as residential and recreational developments.

The Detroit-based health system plans to tear down the Health Alliance Plan headquarters and construct a $1.8 billion hospital in Detroit's New Center area across the street from the existing Henry Ford Hospital, officials announced at the Pistons Performance Facility. The hospitals and facilities would be connected through a series of bridges, underground tunnels and walkway green space. The new hospital would have 877 beds, the same number as the existing hospital, but a new patient tower would house 350 of those, officials said.

The joint medical research center with Michigan State University would bring clinic trials, precision medicine, artificial intelligence, machine learning and population health research to change "how health care is delivered not just here, but everywhere," Riney said. The health system expects the research center to "attract worldwide attention to the work we'll be doing," added Dr. Steven Kalkanis, the health system's chief academic health officer.

The developments would turn the New Center, where Henry Ford's main hospital has called home for more than a century, into a walkable community with the latest residential, commercial, retail, recreational and health care developments for the neighborhood south of West Grand Boulevard on both sides of the John C. Lodge Freeway. .........(more0
