Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91 Chief Operating Officer Laura Ferrio recently appeared as a guest on on WJR-AM for a conversation about how the rehabilitation hospital¡¯s expansion into Detroit will benefit healthcare in the region.
On the program, Ferrio (pictured above, third from the left) discussed the historic partnership between Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91; Gilbert Family Foundation, a nonprofit foundation; and Henry Ford Health, a leading healthcare and medical services provider. Laura Granneman, executive director of the Rocket Community Fund and Gilbert Family Foundation, also joined the conversation.
Together, the three organizations are bringing a 72-bed, state-of-the-art physical medicine and rehabilitation facility to Detroit. It will be managed by Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91, and will occupy three floors of the Henry Ford Hospital patient tower that will be built as part of Henry Ford Health¡¯s campus expansion.
Recently, the organizations held a groundbreaking event, as well as a community event, to give local residents a behind-the-scenes look at the site and to create excitement for the forthcoming facility.
Construction is slated for completion in 2029.
¡°As we get deeper into the partnership and relationship with both Henry Ford Health and the Gilbert Family Foundation, the excitement just escalates,¡± said Ferrio in the radio segment. ¡°To bring our care to the citizens of Detroit is really part of who we are, it¡¯s part of our DNA. The entire organization at Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91 is thrilled to be able to do this in Detroit.¡±
