Henry Ford Health has sold its Madison Heights hospital to Warren-based Trillium Health Care Management, which will reopen the facility as a 100-bed inpatient behavioral health hospital. The move will dramatically expand access to mental health services in eastern Oakland and western Macomb counties. Henry Ford will continue to operate the hospital's 24-hour emergency department, leasing the space from Trillium.

Why it matters

Mental health advocates have long lamented a lack of inpatient psychiatric services throughout Michigan, with over 3.6 million Michiganders living in communities without enough mental health professionals. The new 100-bed facility will be one of the largest providers of its kind in the state, significantly increasing access to critical behavioral health care in the region.

The details

Trillium Health Care Management, a Warren-based behavioral health provider, will reopen the Madison Heights hospital as a 75-bed inpatient behavioral health facility as early as spring 2027, later expanding to 100 beds. The hospital will also provide a continuum of behavioral health services including partial-day and outpatient programs. Henry Ford Health will continue to operate the hospital's 24-hour emergency department, staffing it with its own physicians, nurses and other medical providers and leasing the space from Trillium.

• Henry Ford will begin taking beds offline at the Madison Heights hospital in late March 2027.
• Renovations by Trillium are expected to take about a year before the facility reopens as a behavioral health hospital.
