Sinai Hospital has been a participating
member of the Quadrangle (the commonly
accepted name for a consortium of four
hospitals — Grace Northwest, Mt. Carmel
Mercy, Providence and Sinai — which in
1972 was incorporated as the Metropolitan
Northwest Detroit Hospitals Corporation)
since 1968. The Quadrangle is an
association of the four independently owned
and operated hospitals which have agreed
to collaboratively plan for and provide
health care services in a non-duplicative
manner to a shared population and service
area. The Quadrangle is not a merger of
institutions. Each hospital retains its own
Board of Directors, administration, medical
staff and therefore, institutional autonomy.
The four hospitals formed the Quadrangle
to explore and implement ways in which
sharing could help them maintain and
improve services to patients while at the
same time containing costs.
As has been noted throughout, Sinai
Hospital has played a major role in many of
the shared clinical programs developed
within the framework of the Quadrangle.
Much of the accomplishment to date has
been the result of medical staff, board and
administrative leadership, foresight, and
hard work. Much that will be accomplished
in the future will build on these first
successes, and on the positive working
relationships that have been developed
among these four independent institutions.
