Henry Ford Health/Henry Ford Hospital Program
About This Program
The Division of Plastic Surgery has a huge, varied clinical volume for resident education. The patient experience includes an intense urban caseload, ambulatory surgery and suburban health care. We see about 24,000 clinic visits per year and about 2,100 operative cases in clinic and OR combined. We are actively involved with both the Henry Ford Cancer Institute and the newly form HFH Breast Center. This gives a balanced exposure to all aspects of plastic surgery, with craniofacial and burn.
