Henry Ford Hospital is a hospital located in Detroit, Michigan and was founded in 1918 by Henry Ford as a philanthropic project. It was modeled after Johns Hopkins with a closed medical staff. The hospital has an academic affiliation with Wayne State University School of Medicine, but Henry Ford has its own residency and fellowship programs which are not affiliated with Wayne State.

Henry Ford Hospital performs organ transplants in many areas, including heart, lung, kidney, and liver. The lung transplant program at Henry Ford is one of only two programs in the entire state of Michigan. It is a major referral center for patients with sarcoidosis and other interstitial lung diseases.

The hospital is consistently ranked by US News & World Report as one of the best hospitals in the country.

Also, the hospital is recognized in a painting by Frida Kahlo entitled "Henry Ford Hospital," which depicts the painter after suffering a miscarriage.
