Henry Ford Health (system)

Henry Ford Health signed the HHS Health Sector Climate Pledge, committing to cut operational emissions 50% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. Its Detroit South Campus Central Energy Hub (funded via 2024 Green Bonds) and a planned all-electric hospital tower — only the second in the U.S. — are the anchor decarbonization projects.
