Closed Hospitals?

[EastSider]

When did that one on Carpenter in Detroit close?

North Detroit General Hospital was bought out of bankruptcy about 1994 by a doctor whose name escapes me. He drowned in his car in the late 90s and the hospital sputtered to an ugly end shortly after.

Beyer Hospital in Ypsi, within the last 10 years I belive.

Wayne County General Hospital in Westland near the Eloise institution. Demo'd in 1999.

That's still a medical facility- now it's a bariatric clinic.

Actually the said doctor's name is Dr. Moon and he didn't die in an auto accident, but was criminally indicted for improperly burning old hospital records on his farm in Livingston County.

The old hospital [[NDG) is now being converted into: a charter school, out patient clinic and a nursing home.

No, I'm talking about the guy before the current crook. Perhaps Dr. Moon bought the hospital from the one I'm thinking of. I lived down the street for a few decades, but it's been long enough that I'm not remembering his name. His drowning made the news, because of its freakish nature.

He was driving in a parking lot in the Farmington Hills area and accidentally drove into a pond. It was raining so hard, the pond overflowed into the adjacent parking lot, and the doctor had no idea he left the asphalt until it was too late.

Anyone know anything about Arts Center Hospital on Woodward? I can't find any history or anything about it.

Google Maps w/satellite view It's a bit difficult for me to make out - lies at a sloppy seam between two [[or several) different satellite images, but it looks like the building is still there. It's now part of the WSU campus, but not sure in what capacity.

Glad to see it is being converted. I knew nothing about the place until it was temporarily band-aided for the 8 Mile movie several [[ugh) years ago now.

I really hope that happens but the work has been slow. They put new windows into one part of the building but the rest has been untouched. The former laundry facility for the hospital [[white painted building w. of the hospital) is still vacant and severely damaged. I heard that the city is giving them some difficulties, but that is only neighborhood hearsay. I seriously hope it comes to fruition, it would be a boon to the neighborhood.
