Japanese Program

Henry Ford Health has a long tradition of providing outstanding medical care to the communities we serve. With our continued growth, we are committed to carrying on that tradition and meeting the unique needs of the families and businesses in the Novi area. While in the United States, we are dedicated to assisting Japanese families in making health care easy and accessible through our variety of programs made for this exact purpose. Through translation services and beyond, we hope to make the patient's experience as comfortable as possible.

We Deliver Peace of Mind

To enhance our relationship with the Japanese community, Henry Ford Providence Hospital offers a program specific to the unique needs of the growing Japanese patient population in the area.

• Whether a routine physical or more intensive care, the Japanese Program at Henry Ford is dedicated to making hospital visits easy and convenient for all Japanese residents of our community and beyond
• Since 2008, Providence Hospital has been serving the community as the core hospital of the areas, and though changing name to Henry Ford in October 2024, our high-quality services continue to bring peace of mind to our patients, continuing the tradition of serving the Japanese community around us
• Established in 2010 as the sole Japanese program that provided Japanese executives and their families with assistance in all of their healthcare needs as they moved to Michigan, providing appointment assistance, live translation from native staff, and extensive executive health support, and more to the community
