Henry Ford board members voted against the multi-billion-dollar deal Tuesday afternoon.
The Beaumont and Henry Ford health systems merger has been called off after "different perspectives" emerged about the $6.4-billion deal.

Opened in February, Title Boxing Club has seen steady growth as clients spread the word about the unique regimen.
Title Boxing Club, one of the nation's fastest growing franchises, is also growing in Farmington Hills. The club on Haggerty just south of 14 Mile Road has drawn around 200 members since opening in late February. Owner Ashok Kumar said he and his wife invested in a franchise because they liked the business model and learned the work-out is "amazing". "When I did it and my wife it, we were sold on it," he said. "It is very different. People will even keep their other memberships and come here as well."

I am glad they are not merging. Beaumont evolved from a great community hospital to a world-class health care facility. Henry Ford has great facilites and doctors also; but a merger of the two would prove too large and unweildy a governance structure in my opinion. more ›
