Other than St. John Riverview, are there any other recently closed hospitals in the Metro Detroit area?

Riverside Hospital in Trenton.
When did that one on Carpenter in Detroit close?
not real recent, but remember Deaconess on Jefferson?
There's one off of Michigan Ave. west of the MCS that closed in the last couple of years I think.
Yeah, I used to see that when I'd take the train to Chicago. Nothing ages more poorly than the future ...
That's probably the one, although it had a sign on it with a different name for quite some time, and I thought it still had lights on inside a few years ago. Now the sign is no longer visible and it is clearly empty.
Part of Sinai is closed now, isn't it? And the emergency sections of all the smaller hospitals...
Into the early 2000s the hospital off Michigan housed the DPD Vice Squad. I believe other parts of the building held a drug rehab facility.
Sinai on Outer Drive
Saratoga on Gratiot
Riverside in Trenton
Detroit Osteopathic in Highland Park
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.
Renaissance High School is now on the former site of Sinai Hospital on W. Outer Drive.
North Oakland Medical Center in Pontiac closed in 2008 only to be purchased by a group of physicians and re-opened a couple of weeks later as Doctor's Hospital of Michigan. The closing and re-opening were done with pretty big fanfare, but I haven't seen much about whether it's been successful.
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.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.

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.
Yes, I worked at North Detroit General which changed name to Greater Detroit Hospital when the drowned Dr. bought it. He actually re-opened it since it had been closed for several years. Damn what was his name?
Lincoln Hospital on 25th and W. Lafayette, closed in the 60's. Was owned and run by Jewish Dr.s who were not permitted to practice in some other larger hospitals. I was told.
