It’s the Little Things (and the Routine Things) That Count

Every day I hear a patient care story at Henry Ford Hospital that absolutely inspires me and fills me with pride.

These are often heroic efforts of clinical expertise and team work, with many of our people working against all odds to perform care that saves a patient from what appears to be an impossible situation. These “miracles on the Boulevard” seem almost routine.

Times of crisis also seem to bring out the best in Henry Ford.

I noticed this years ago when we lost electricity on Campus on two occasions.

You could not have had a group of people working together more incredibly to overcome not only the obstacles of minimum electrical power, but the even greater challenges of inadequate water so needed for thirst and cleanliness.

I sit back in awe of our people at these times.
