The following statement is from Future of Health: Detroit partners Henry Ford Health, Tom Gores and the Detroit Pistons, and Michigan State University regarding Tuesday’s Detroit City Council vote:

“Detroit City Council today approved an important investment in the revitalization of Detroit and the health and well-being of its residents. Long-standing Michigan community stewards Henry Ford Health, Tom Gores and the Detroit Pistons, and Michigan State University have brought the Future of Health development forward as part of a historic partnership to turn Detroit’s New Center neighborhood into a vibrant, walkable community delivering the future of healthcare with an expanded state-of-the-art hospital and cutting-edge medical research combined with mixed-income residential, commercial, retail and recreational components.  Today’s approvals lay the groundwork to execute the reimagination of our shared campus, creating meaningful economic opportunity and redefining what health and well-being means for the City of Detroit.  We appreciate our engagement with members of City Council, Mayor Duggan and his team, and the committed impact area residents of the Neighborhood Advisory Committee for understanding the importance of this vision and working together to deliver a community benefits package that will enhance our shared neighborhood and the broader city we serve.  The Future of Health in Detroit is ours to shape, and we’ll do it together.”
