'Henry Ford Hospital' is a hospital located in Detroit, Michigan a few blocks from Wayne State University and the New Center area, near the Fisher Building and Cadillac Place. The hospital was founded in 1915 by Henry Ford as a philanthropic project. It was modeled after the Mayo Clinic's closed medical staff model and many early physicians came from Johns Hopkins Hospital. The hospital has an academic affiliation with Wayne State University School of Medicine, but has its own residency and fellowship programs that are not affiliated with Wayne State University. Medical students from schools including Wayne State and Michigan State University rotate through Henry Ford during their third and fourth years.
Henry Ford Hospital performs organ transplants in many areas, including heart, lung, kidney, and liver. The lung transplant program at Henry Ford is one of only two programs in the entire state of Michigan. It is a major referral center for patients with sarcoidosis and other interstitial lung diseases.
The hospital is consistently ranked by ''U.S. News & World Report'' as one of the best hospitals in the country.
