New Behavioral Health Hospital Opens in West Bloomfield: Focus on Mental Wellness and Expanding Access to Care

Henry Ford Health is set to open a new behavioral health hospital in West Bloomfield, with 192 beds for inpatient care. The hospital, which is a joint venture between Henry Ford Health and Acadia Healthcare, will expand on the services already offered by Henry Ford in West Bloomfield and serve as an academic site for educating future behavioral healthcare providers.

In a special episode dedicated to mental health, Emily Sexton, the newly appointed CEO of Henry Ford Health, emphasized the importance of mental wellness. She was joined by Elizabeth Hertel, Director of Michigan’s Health and Human Services Department, and Eric Hipple, former Detroit Lions quarterback and mental health advocate.

Hertel discussed the state’s focus on behavioral health, mentioning that MDHHS has invested over $360 million in the past two years to ensure families have access to necessary services. Hipple emphasized the importance of mental health and wellness in his work with various organizations. The trio discussed the efforts being made in the region to support individuals with mental health issues.

Michigan Matters features Carol Cain as its senior producer and host, boasting 13 Emmy Awards. You can catch it at its new time slot: 5:30 a.m. Sundays on CBS Detroit, noon Sundays on Detroit 50 WKBD, and streaming at 9 p.m. weeknights on CBS Detroit’s website, app, and Pluto TV.
