May 15, 2026- The steel structure for Henry Ford Hospital’s new patient tower now soars 20 stories above West Grand Boulevard. Hundreds of Henry Ford Health team members, partners, and supporters gathered for a topping-out celebration Thursday and watched as a 32-foot, 1,400-pound steel beam was placed at the top of the building where patients will one day receive life-changing care.
When it’s complete, the new part of the hospital will offer 432 private patient rooms, each with the highest levels of interactive smart technology; the 449 patient rooms that will remain at the existing hospital will be converted into private spaces. Five floors of the new patient tower will be dedicated to specialized intensive care units. Twenty-eight new operating suites capable of handling complex surgical cases—from transplants to brain surgery—will be housed in the low-rise section of the building. From robots delivering medical supplies to AI integration to support the most innovative care, every detail of the new hospital is being selected with medical excellence in mind.
