Cornerstone Medical Group Joins Henry Ford Health

DETROIT, Mich. (April 1, 2026) – As part of Henry Ford Health’s ongoing commitment to increasing accessibility to quality healthcare for all its patients and community members, the organization is proud to announce that effective April 1, long-time physician partners Cornerstone Medical Group will become part of the storied Henry Ford Medical Group (HFMG).

This means that more than 80 Cornerstone physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs) will join the existing 3,400 physicians, researchers and APPs who now comprise the HFMG. This new clinical partnership will allow patients to have more options when finding a care provider, while also offering current Cornerstone patients access to Henry Ford Health’s expansive network. The physicians will also participate in the Mosaic Clinically Integrated Network, which unites more than 5,000 providers across 13 Michigan counties.

In this new partnership, Cornerstone Medical Group physicians will become part of the Henry Ford Medical Group, employed under the Clinical Partner category, effectively expanding HFMG’s pluralistic platform for continued and elevated high‑value care for patients. Through the addition of these top‑level physicians, Henry Ford Health will be able to build on the collective strengths of both organizations, sharing best practices and processes. As a result, patients can expect continued high‑value care that improves outcomes, reduces total cost of care, and advances health equity across the communities we serve.

“This decision reflects our strong confidence in Henry Ford Health’s vision and our shared commitment to clinical excellence,” said Dr. Bruce Benderoff, who has served as Cornerstone’s President and CEO. “It builds on what Cornerstone has achieved while expanding our ability to deliver coordinated, high‑value care to the patients and communities we serve. We are excited to join the evolving physician enterprise as a Clinical Partner of Henry Ford Medical Group and participate in the Mosaic Clinically Integrated Network.”

The Cornerstone Medical Group includes 25 offices across the Detroit area that offer family and internal medicine, pediatrics, endocrinology, hospitalist care, podiatry, and colorectal surgery. All these locations now carry the name of Henry Ford Cornerstone.

Dr. Adnan Munkarah, President, Clinical Enterprise and Chief Physician Executive of Henry Ford Health, highlighted the broader impact of the partnership on patients and physicians alike.

“This partnership reflects our mutual commitment to enhancing our nation‑leading, physician‑led, patient‑centered care model,” said Dr. Munkarah. “By welcoming Cornerstone Medical Group into both Henry Ford Medical Group and the Mosaic Clinically Integrated Network, we are expanding access, strengthening collaboration, and ensuring patients benefit from a highly connected system focused on innovation, quality, and affordability.”

This clinical partnership highlights Henry Ford Health’s desire to partner with large physician organizations while advancing a pluralistic strategy—all with the goal of strengthening an integrated, physician‑led care delivery system.

The physician-led HFMG is one of the oldest and most vibrant medical groups in the United States. Based on a physician-led model first used at Johns Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic, the HFMG was established in 1915. The HFMG culture fosters collaboration and collegiality while drawing on the knowledge and skills of each individual physician. In addition to clinical prowess, the HFMG places a high premium on research and education, allowing Henry Ford Health to bring the highest level of bench-to-bedside treatment for our patients. This prestigious academic setting is further enhanced by the training of thousands of residents, fellows and medical students each year.
