Welcome to Henry Ford Allegiance Health.
For over 100 years, we've been part of the South Central
Michigan community with 475 beds and more than 40 area
facilities in and around Jackson.
We are the area's only comprehensive health care
provider.
We are also a close-knit, community-based health
environment.
That attracts residents from across the country
and around the world.
What I wanted when I went to a residency program
was I wanted to feel like I was a part of a family.
I didn't want to feel like I was going
to sit on the sidelines for the first two years of my residency
and then finally, maybe they'll let me play.
I wanted to be in it in the beginning.
And that's what it is here.
You are in it from the beginning.
And I think that that's great.
The nice thing about Henry Ford Allegiance Health
is it offers you the best of both worlds.
You are part of a very large health system.
But at the same time, you are still
a part of a community hospital, where
you have a really close relationship
with your patients.
Henry Ford Allegiance Health is a level 2 trauma center.
And we're recognized for excellence
in neurosurgery, cardiovascular care, cancer care, stroke,
and women's health.
We have over 80,000 patient visits per year
with a wide variety of pathologies and backgrounds.
Henry Ford Allegiance Health is a national leader
in forming community partnerships
to promote wellness, eliminate disparities, and establish
strong community bonds throughout South Central
Michigan.
Our residents get the best of high-end specialty care,
as well as real world medicine in the community.
This rare combination offers the learner
the benefit of professional growth
in an environment that is friendly,
and which always feels like home.
One thing I love about this program
is everyone's very professional and friendly here.
All the attendings, your colleagues, and medical staff
here are super friendly.
They're professional and respectful.
From day one in my residency, I was always
encouraged to ask questions.
I was never told to just listen and follow.
Residents have immediate hands-on opportunities,
learning from some of the area's most well-respected clinicians.
Regular simulation and didactic learning
provides consistent educational growth,
while real world experience with high patient volumes
gives the learner diverse patient interactions.
The facilities at Henry Ford Allegiance Health
are modern and constantly updated
with the recently renovated cafeteria
and new, spacious patient rooms to provide
the best care imaginable.
In our operating theater, both laparoscopic and robotic
surgery gives learners opportunities
offered at large institutions inside a facility that
focuses on providing one-on-one teaching moments.
Care rooms are outfitted with appropriate PPE, as well as
lab and imaging services that are among the most
advanced in the state.
My colleagues come from all over the world
to train at Henry Ford Allegiance Health.
We have colleagues from close borders, colleagues that
fly overseas to train here.
And as far as our patient population,
we have a very diverse pathology over here,
very diverse set of patients from different backgrounds
and different ethnicities.
And so you really get a full scope practice,
while you're in residency.
Jackson, Michigan is located just 80 miles west of Detroit.
This friendly mix of rural America
and contemporary conveniences gives our residents
the best of both worlds--
lower cost, high value housing within a short drive
of shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Our doctors spine this community perfect for new families, as
well as single living.
With walkable downtown and meandering biking and walking
trails, Jackson offers all of the conveniences of home
with a small town sensibility.
You're going to get a great education wherever you go.
But it's about who you connect with.
And I hope that we're the people that you connect with.
Because we want people that want to be here and that
want to learn, and want to invest
in the community of Jackson, and hopefully
in the state of Michigan as well.
As a resident, you will have the chance
to learn, to grow, to lead, and to live
in an environment that is both small town and future focused.
Welcome to Henry Ford Allegiance Health.
