It started nearly 100 years ago. Automotive pioneer Henry Ford had a vision to provide world-class health care to every man, woman and child. Assembling doctors to work in teams, the founders of this not-for-profit institution challenged the medical conventions of the day and sparked innovations like never before. This extraordinary dream would come to be known today as Henry Ford Health System.

This ambitious project grew from an expectation of excellence and a genuine spirit of giving. It continues today because of the talent and dedication of our 21,000 physicians and employees and the generosity of our philanthropic family.

Through the support of philanthropic gifts, we've established world-renowned research and education studies and award-winning community outreach programs while providing leading-edge medicine and clinical expertise delivered by one of the nation's largest medical groups.

As it was in 1915, our ability to provide world-class medicine and quality care depend on the efforts of countless individuals just like you. Without the financial support of our loyal friends and volunteers, amazing recoveries and scientific breakthroughs of the next 100 years will go unrealized. What we have accomplished together is truly remarkable, but imagine where we are going.
