Brigitte Harris Cancer Pavilion Update
Growth is happening! The Brigitte Harris Cancer Pavilion. The treatment options. The services. Most of all — hope.
People worldwide travel to Henry Ford for advanced cancer treatment, and now the Brigitte Harris Cancer Pavilion in Detroit is getting ready to play a major role in their recovery.
Opening in 2020, the Pavilion encompasses 187,000 square feet, six floors and the Nancy Vlasic Skywalk
connection across West Grand Boulevard to Henry Ford Hospital.
Patients can gather at the new facility for classes, support groups and therapeutic services. For lounging or contemplation, a terrace and other areas will attract those in need of a breather.
In honor of his late wife, Brigitte, Detroit businessman Mort Harris generously donated $20 million for the building. The largest individual gift in Henry Ford’s history, his donation is part of a $40 million package to support the building project and three specific program areas: precision medicine, pancreatic cancer and brain cancer.
