Henry Ford Medical Group

The Henry Ford Medical Group is one of the nation’s largest and most experienced group practices, with 1,900 physicians and researchers in more than 40 specialties.

A heritage of excellence

Founded in 1915 after consultations with physicians at Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Mayo Clinic, the Henry Ford Medical Group has established itself as one of the premier group practices in the nation. For more than 100 years, the Henry Ford Medical Group has fostered innovation and advancement in patient care, education and research while encouraging improvement in technology and patient care processes. The Henry Ford Medical Group has established itself as a leader in healthcare by excelling in three key areas:

• Clinical care: Ranked in the 99th percentile of all group practices.
• Education: We are one of the largest post-graduate medical education enterprises in the country -- one-third of all physicians in Michigan receive training at Henry Ford.
• Research: We are in the top 6 percent of National Institutes of Health-funded institutions.

Henry Ford Medical Group physicians work together in leadership and as everyday partners to continue to bring the best possible care to every patient we serve. We also work to educate our community through our Emmy Award–winning TV show, Minds of Medicine.

Professional conduct and standards

Members of Henry Ford Medical Group are expected to meet the highest standards of professional conduct. We wish to be the benchmark by which other physician groups are judged for the quality of our patient care, and our exemplary professional and ethical behavior.
