Our Commitment to Safety

Healthcare designed with your safety in mind

Although the world has changed, our commitment to providing the safest care environment possible has never wavered. The recent health crisis challenged us to go even farther, imagining new, creative ways to deliver care that’s safer for everyone. From emergency visits, to surgical care, to hospitalization to outpatient appointments, your safety remains our first priority.

We have new standards in place that allow us to safely provide medical care to you and your family whenever you need it. These include:

  • Screening all patients, visitors and staff before entry to our facilities including a temperature check. Those who show possible signs of illness are referred for proper medical care.
  • Maintaining visitor restrictions at all locations.
  • Masks being worn at all times by staff, patients and visitors. Those who need a mask will receive one upon entry.
  • Staff wearing appropriate personal protective equipment when providing care and adhering to strict handwashing protocols.
  • Testing all patients for COVID-19 before any procedure or surgery.
  • Enacting social distancing measures for spaces like elevators, waiting areas, lobbies, cafeterias and more.
  • Enhancing cleaning practices with even more frequent disinfecting of common areas like waiting rooms and lobbies.

The Henry Ford Safety Promise

We are driven to offer patients the safest and highest quality experience available. Betty Chu, M.D., Chief Quality Officer, explains how we make that kind of care possible every day, for every patient.

More Safe Ways to Access Care Now

When it comes to your health, we know that some things can’t wait. We also understand that you may be worried about seeking care at your doctor’s office or hospital. But the current health crisis shouldn’t prevent you from getting the medical care you need, no matter your condition or concern.

Scheduled video visits for primary and specialty care

Want to talk with your doctor about a health concern? Need a follow-up appointment with your cardiologist? Want to see a new dermatologist? Struggling with depression or addiction and need to talk with your therapist? You can do so without leaving home.

We offer video visit appointments for primary and most specialty care. During a video visit, you’ll meet with your provider at a scheduled time using your smartphone, tablet or computer through your Henry Ford MyChart account. Video visits work exactly like Skype or Facetime. It’s completely secure and easy to use and open to new or existing patients.

Call or send a MyChart message to your doctor or specialist to find out if video visits are right for you and schedule an appointment.
