HENRY FORD WEST BLOOMFIELD HOSPITAL

JACKSON, MI – Jackson’s hospital is getting a new name as part of a Henry Ford Health System rebrand. Henry Ford Allegiance Health will become Henry Ford Jackson Hospital to better align itself with its parent company’s location-based names, such as Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital, Henry Ford Macomb Hospital and Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital, said Emily Moorhead, the Jackson hospital’s interim president.

The hospital then partnered with Henry Ford Health in 2016, and adopted the name Henry Ford Allegiance Health. Henry Ford Health employs more than 33,000 people, including nearly 6,000 physicians and researchers from the Henry Ford Medical Group, Henry Ford Physician Network and Jackson Health Network, officials said.

The tree-cutting process has already started to create room for the expansion of a Henry Ford Health hospital in West Bloomfield.
