Ascension joint venture

On October 18, 2023, Henry Ford Health announced plans to create a joint venture with Ascension, assuming the Metro Detroit and Flint operations of Ascension Michigan.^[10][11] Under this arrangement, Ascension controls a 20% ownership and voting stake in the combined organization. The joint venture was finalized on September 30, 2024.^[5]

Under the arrangement, hospitals formerly owned by Ascension will continue to be designated as Catholic institutions, and continue to follow Catholic healthcare guidelines, and as such will not offer abortion, birth control, tubal ligation, or gender-affirming care services. Facilities owned by Henry Ford prior to the joint venture will remain secular and continue to offer these services.^[5]
