We're going up, up, up! 🏗️ Our team members just signed the beam that will sit at the highest point of our new patient tower. Signing the beam is a time-honored construction tradition to mark completion of the steel structure - and we're proud to carry it forward as we build the future of our Detroit campus.

The 20-story patient tower is part of our state-of-the-art Henry Ford Hospital expansion project, currently being constructed across the street from the existing hospital on W. Grand Blvd. The hospital expansion is expected to open in 2029.

After decades of living with essential tremor, a neurological condition causing involuntary shaking that can make daily tasks difficult, Mark Honeyman underwent deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Now, three years later he’s experiencing life-changing relief and has regained steadiness in his hands.

"It has not only given my body back, but it has given the world back to me, where whatever it is that I’m interested in doing, it’s available to me, and there are no limitations anymore," Honeyman said.

Dr. Danika Paulo our functional neurosurgeon recently replaced the 3-year-old device in Honeyman’s chest and spoke with WXYZ-TV Channel 7 about how DBS can transform life for patients like Mark, who hopes his story inspires others.

Our heart & vascular team at Henry Ford Providence Southfield Hospital performed the Michigan’s 1st multi-organ denervation (MDN) procedure, offering a new option for people with hard-to-control high blood pressure. 👏

This minimally invasive procedure works by calming overactive nerves around key blood vessels, helping lower blood pressure when it’s been difficult to manage with or without medication. The procedure is part of a global study looking at its safety and long-term impact, helping bring new and promising care options to patients.
