Henry Ford Health in Detroit announced Emily Moorhead as the president for Henry Ford Jackson Hospital. Moorhead has served as interim president since February 2022, and prior to that, her role was chief operating officer.

Moorhead will lead the Henry Ford Jackson campus in collaboration with the executive leadership team and oversee the hospital’s planning and operations. She will continue the focus on providing a high quality, safe environment while emphasizing patient, team member, and physician engagement.

“I am continually inspired by the strength and heart of this organization,” says Moorhead. “It is truly an honor to continue to work with such a strong team and committed community.”

A seasoned executive leader, Moorhead brings more than 15 years of experience to the role. Before coming to Henry Ford Health, she held leadership positions in hospital operations and health system strategy at Tenet and Trinity Health.

“Emily is a transformational leader,” says Denise Brooks-Williams, senior vice president and CEO of market operations at HFH. “We are so pleased she will have the opportunity to build on the momentum she’s already inspired in this critical leadership role, both for the hospital and the communities that count on us for care.”

Moorhead earned her undergraduate degree at Michigan State University and her master’s at the University of Michigan.
