Southwest Detroit Hospital

Southwest Detroit Hospital was a hospital located in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan, United States. It opened in 1973 as the first Detroit hospital to hire and accredit African American doctors and nurses, which was uncommon in the United States at that time. The original hospital was only in existence for 17 years; in 1991, it declared bankruptcy and closed down. In 1997, the hospital re-opened as United Community Hospital; however, due to financial struggles, the hospital closed again in January 2006. Since then, the building remained abandoned. In 2024, Detroit City Football Club acquired the former hospital site as the preferred location for a new soccer stadium, with demolition of the hospital completed by early 2026.
