Every moment matters. For Dr. Kimberlydawn Wisdom, our SVP of Community Health, Education & Wellness and Chief Wellness Officer, one defining moment was meeting Civil Rights activist Dorothy Height as a teenager. She took the moment and created a path – and career – forward in medicine, rooted in community wellness and service to others. 💙

We’re proud of our team’s dedication to extending care beyond our hospital walls and make a meaningful impact in our community this Ramadan. 🌙✨

Our Employee Resource Group, eMERGe, hosted a Ramadan Iftar dinner at Henry Ford Hospital, bringing Muslim and non-Muslim team members together to break their fast, share a meal and celebrate cultural traditions.

eMERGe also hosted its annual Eid toy drive, supporting local families across Metro Detroit and spreading joy to children in our community.

At 42, Jamillah Sherman never expected to hear the words colon cancer. The corporate executive had already beaten leukemia as a child, and now cancer was back.

"I started feeling really tired and run down, and I started to digest things differently than I had before," Jamillah said. "And I thought, 'oh, well, I'm aging. You know, this is all normal.'"

But as colon cancer rates continue to rise among younger adults, those seemingly small changes shouldn’t be ignored. Our medical oncologist Dr. Philip Philip joined Jamillah on WXYZ-TV Channel 7 to discuss warning signs people should take seriously.

"We're seeing more patients who are under the age of 50, and certainly I've seen patients even in their 20s," said Dr. Philip. "So people have to really see their doctors if they have symptoms. Abdominal pain, pain in the abdomen, difficulty in opening the bowels or changes in the bowel habits that are not typical for you."

Dr. Philip also emphasized the importance of early screening, noting that when colorectal cancer is caught in the pre-cancerous stage or stage one, outcomes are dramatically better.

Starting with the 2025 tax year, living organ donors - like those who give a kidney or part of their liver - can claim a $10,000 tax credit for associated expenses, including travel, lodging, lost wages and childcare that are not covered by insurance. Our transplant patient and Living Liver Foundation Co-Founder David Galbenski were among those who worked hard to pass the bill.

"In the last three years, we’ve moved from a state that was right at an "F" on living organ donation protections to a "B." That shows that when we work together in a bipartisan way, we can get great stuff done for Michiganders," David told FOX 2 Detroit.

Dr. Atsushi Yoshida, our division head of transplant and hepatobiliary surgery, highlights the importance of supporting living organ donors through the new tax credit, especially as about 2,600 Michiganders are currently waiting for a life‑saving organ transplant.

"(Living organ donors) are actually saving two lives with every organ they donate. The person you're donating to would have normally taken a deceased donor transplant that can now go to somebody else."
