About
Summary: The Detroit Health Department is a small government public health agency based in Detroit, Michigan, with a long history of serving Detroiters. It emphasizes a Health in All Policies approach, integrating health considerations into housing, transportation, environment, economic opportunity, and access to care. The department collaborates with other city departments and community organizations to make health a factor in all policy decisions. Despite its small staff (listed as 4 employees), it aims to be a modern, visible, and responsive public health entity rooted in the communities it serves. If your query relates to finding a doctor, the page signals a broader public health mission rather than direct clinical services; for doctor access, you may need to look for local clinics, hospitals, or the city’s healthcare resources beyond this department’s scope.

"She makes you feel comfortable about talking about everything. We’d get to talking about my garden, and it just rolled into everything I was doing with my health."
— Patient regarding community health worker program"Accessing health care – doctors’ appointments, the pharmacy or the ER – in a city and region that relies heavily on personal vehicles and invests far less in public transit than comparable cities, is an ongoing dilemma for Detroiters."
— USC Center for Health Journalism report"Very bad experience, I took my mom to an appointment and it was horrible. The attitude of the nurses is terrible... You can't work with patients and act like you hate people and don't want the job you have!"
