History
The Detroit Medical Center first opened this site in Madison Heights, Michigan in March 2003 as Michigan Orthopaedic Specialty Hospital. It was the first hospital in the state to offer inpatient and outpatient surgical care exclusively focused on orthopaedics. In addition, a 24-hour general Emergency Room was opened to the community. The hospital also continued to provide services through Madison Behavioral Health Services, which it acquired with the purchase of the site.
In the past five years, the hospital has grown to also include a full-service radiology department with MRI and ultrasound technology, a Back Pain Clinic and an off-site Wound Care Center. Recently, it expanded to include outpatient surgical services performed by the doctors of DMC Children’s Hospital of Michigan. On July 10, 2008, the facility was renamed the DMC Surgery Hospital to better represent this broader range of services to adults and children.
