Cancer Care

All patient satisfaction data is accurate according to Press Ganey database. The Press Ganey survey is a tool used by hospitals around the country to gauge patient satisfaction. Henry Ford heavily uses its Press Ganey feedback throughout all of our hospitals, medical centers and other facilities to ensure we're meeting the care and service needs of our patients.

End-of-Life Care

End of Life care, or Hospice care, is unique because it focuses on symptom control, pain management and comfort care when there is no longer an expectation for cure. These measures may reflect how comprehensive and patient-focused a Cancer center's treatment program is. More information about Henry Ford Hospice is available.
