Program Overview - Where we started and where we are now

More than 15,000 services are delivered annually to metro-Detroit students and community members through the Henry Ford School-Based and Community Health Program

The program provides complete, interdisciplinary, and confidential services that meet the needs of students where they spend most of their time.

In 1991 the first Henry Ford Health school based health clinic was opened in Hutchins Middle School. With support from the Kellogg Foundation, Hutchins became one of the first middle schools in Detroit to have a health clinic of this kind. The Kellogg Foundation provided additional funding and in 1994 the program was expanded. It now includes sites in 14 school and community settings across metro-Detroit.
