Histori
Henry Ford Allegiance Health was founded in 1918 as W.A. Foote Memorial Hospital when a local resident, Ny. Ida Foote, donating land for the construction of a new hospital to honor his late husband, W. Foote.

In 1975, it was purchased by Foote Hospital for $ 2.5 million, and changed its name to Foote West . West Foote was closed in 1984 after a new hospital was built on E. Michigan Avenue. The Lansing Avenue Building was demolished in 1989, and a memorial was established in 1997. This property was awarded to Jackson County in 1998. This is the current site of Jackson County Medical Treatment Facility that opened November 2002.
