Our History
Garden City Hospital began as the vision of six local osteopathic physicians in March of 1947. Committed to a high level of healthcare, the physicians pooled their own money and rented a building on Ford Road to provide a more attentive healthcare facility for the community. Built around the family practitioner, the hospital was named Garden City Maternity Hospital even though it also treated sick and injured persons. The hospital later purchased relocated to Ypsilanti as Ridgewood Hospital. The current facility opened its doors in April 1960.
Osteopathic internship and residency programs have been part of Garden City Hospital’s mission since 1952. We are proud that over 1200 DO’s have received postdoctoral medical education at GCH.
