Holy Cross started as St. Francis Hospital in Hamtramck, which is now City Hall.

Art Center is next to the Detroit Institute of Arts, and I think they store [[or used to) some of the old historic records and stuff there. I was born there in 1956. It was an osteopathic hospital.

Thanks for the pic. I had never seen the place in which I too was born in. All I ever knew was that I was born here and that it closed sometime later.

The Detroit Osteopathic Hospital on Second Ave in Highland Park

The Southwest Detroit Hospital off Michigan Ave

When did St. Francis move and become Holy Cross? [[Which is now a Triumph Hospital, I think.) Did they have nuns as nurses? You hardly ever see that anymore.

I was born at Holy Cross, while my cousins were born at either Bon Secours or Saratoga. Are they still around? There was an Italian grocery store across the street from Saratoga, I wish I could remember the name of it. My dad got me some spumoni there when I got my tonsils taken out. Mmmmm!

It wasn't exactly in Detroit, but I was taken to Bi-County in an ambulance once. I can't remember where that was, though.

St. Francis closed around 1970, give or take a few years. Holy Cross opened before then.

Bon Secours is still there, but it's now Beaumont Grosse Pointe.
