Henry Ford plans $500M hospital expansion, redevelopment in Detroit

Christina Rogers / The Detroit News
Henry Ford Health System is finalizing plans to make a $500 million investment in its flagship hospital in Detroit and expand the medical center's footprint across West Grand Boulevard, building a south campus with doctors' offices, research facilities and an education center....

The seven-hospital system also plans to lead a collaborative effort aimed at redeveloping a larger 300-acre section of Detroit's New Center neighborhood, turning it into a "Community Health Park." Henry Ford says it intends to work with developers to transform blighted land directly south of its hospital into a hub for mixed-use housing, retail and other commercial activity. It hopes these efforts will attract another $500 million in investment by outside residential and commercial developers.

The Battle for Hearts and Minds has Begun

It has been pointed out that avid Dyspathy.com reader and DUI lawyer, Daniel Hajji has posted his "grossly non-compliant and inappropriate" motion on the homepage of his law firm's website.  This is the equivalent of a kindergartner taping has "finger painting" to mommy's refrigerator in a desperate search for approval.

As the battle heats up between Woodward's Friend and SuperMichiganLawyer, writers from across the region have begun to take notice.  Bill Shea at Crain's Detroit and Aaron Foley of MLive.com have both weighed in.  It will be interesting to see what tomorrow will bring.
