Welcome to Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital,
an advanced medical campus, offering residents
a diverse mix of patients, colleagues, and opportunities.
This uncommon balance of community and collaboration
brings together residents from around the country
to learn and grow in an environment that
is both small-town and still conveniently connected
to the big city.
I grew up in Northeast Indiana, a small town called Angola.
I'm originally from Arizona.
Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Houston, Texas.
South Carolina.
Born and raised in Detroit.
Most of my life, I've been in Long Island, New York,
so I'm a New Yorker.
Inside this 94-year-old, 360-bed hospital,
you will find high-volume primary and emergency care
opportunities, with high-end specialty care services.
With over 1,500 births, 55,000 ER visits,
and 15,000 discharges, our integrated team
of physicians from every specialty imaginable
is one of the largest in the country.
Offering 24-hour emergency care, advanced interventional cardiac
care, neurosurgery, orthopedics, oncology, and a large birthing
center, our medical expertise offers
learners the exposure to medicine at all levels,
with a high-touch approach that makes
our environment perfect for residents
searching for a community-based experience.
I was fortunate enough to rotate here when I was a student.
And I just immediately fell in love
with the program because of the people.
The resident unit was cohesive.
They worked very well together.
Our attendings, they really love to teach.
They really care about our education.
It's always a welcoming, friendly learning environment.
We have a lot of diversity in pathology.
So we have people who come in for trauma.
They come in for chronic diseases.
We see a lot of pediatric patients.
So I think the diversity in the pathology
is super important as you're a resident.
And I think I get a strong foundation here for that.
We sponsor residencies in emergency medicine,
general surgery, OB/GYN, and pediatric surgery.
Providing real-world experience, as well as
regular didactic interactions and simulation experience
throughout the year, our residents
choose Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital
because of our diversity of patients and the family
atmosphere.
And our goal is to provide the richest,
most hands-on community hospital residencies in the area.
One of the things that drew me to the program
was the ability to have an academic feel
and academic connections with Henry Ford
Hospital at the main hospital downtown,
but to get the community feel and the family feel
of a bread-and-butter general surgery program.
Your residency may also span outside the hospital walls.
Our nearby community clinic and Brownstown Medical Center
offer further community interactions and opportunities
to practice medicine in a more intimate environment.
Henry Ford Wyandotte is a very welcoming environment
where the residents treat each other with respect
and work hard to help each other,
not just with their own personal work.
The attendings in our program, they care very much.
It's a program where people feel accepted.
It's a hospital where people feel accepted.
And that was what drew me to Henry Ford Wyandotte
originally.
The community of Wyandotte is just 11 miles south of Detroit.
With the beautiful blue waters of our Great Lakes
just steps away, you are always close to incredible walking,
biking, or boating.
Living accommodations are also plentiful and cost-efficient,
often just a short walk to our medical campus.
The nearby downtown area provides numerous dining,
gathering, and entertainment options.
We love being outdoors, hiking and biking.
There's so much of that here.
Around Wyandotte, there's great parks, the surrounding metro
parks, too.
We have two dogs.
We love to go on walks with them.
As one of the largest travel hubs in the country,
you are also less than 20 minutes from Detroit
Metropolitan Airport.
And with just a short drive north,
you can experience the revitalized city of Detroit,
providing nightlife and entertainment
options around the clock.
Wyandotte is the perfect environment
for community, for growth, for the next stop
on your medical journey, and a destination
for a rich residency experience.
This is Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital.
