Detroit Medical Center Harper University Hospital is an 800-bed academic medical center serving as the primary teaching hospital for Wayne State University School of Medicine, one of the nation's largest medical schools. Located in the heart of the Detroit Medical Center campus, Harper University Hospital provides tertiary and quaternary care to patients from Detroit and across southeastern Michigan, offering subspecialty services and clinical trial access unavailable at most community hospitals. The hospital operates a Level I Trauma Center — the highest designation — receiving the region's most critically injured patients and training the next generation of trauma surgeons. The neuroscience program is among Michigan's most comprehensive, offering 24/7 interventional stroke therapy, complex neurosurgery including cerebrovascular procedures, and a dedicated neurological ICU with continuous EEG monitoring capabilities. Harper's cardiovascular program encompasses the full spectrum of cardiac care including complex interventional procedures, electrophysiology, and cardiac surgery. The hospital's oncology program, part of the DMC's Karmanos Cancer Institute partnership, provides access to nationally recognized cancer specialists and cutting-edge clinical trials. Transplant services, complex vascular surgery, and a Level III NICU for high-risk newborns complete Harper's tertiary capabilities.
