However, Grace Hospital will not be a religiously-affiliated organization. Q What advantages to the community does Grace's membership in The Detroit Medical Center (DMC) offer?

A full range of family services will be offered from obstetrics to gerontology. Specialists in many different areas will provide for state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment of serious illnesses such as cancer, and heart and kidney disease. Q A How will the greater Detroit community benefit from this consolidation? Mount Carmel had experienced financial dif- ficulties and would have closed, thus reducing access to health care and causing the loss of jobs. Grace Hospital's facilities were outdated, and the need to expand several of its programs required the addition of building space. Reno- vation and expansion of the existing Grace facility would have been very expensive, so the move into Mount Carmel's larger building was the ideal way to solve these problems and eliminate costly, unneeded beds.
