Welcome to Detroit and Southeast Michigan!

The central campus of the DMC is located in the heart of Detroit. Here, on Wayne State University's Medical Campus, five DMC institutions (Detroit Receiving Hospital, Harper Hospital, the Barbara Ann Karmonos Cancer Institute, and the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan, are bordered by the University's Medical School (Scott Hall) and the Shiffman Medical Library on one end and the WSU new College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Building . Just one block up the street are two more DMC institutions, Hutzel Hospital and the Kresge Eye Institute.

Nearby are theaters, restaurants, stadiums, clubs, and the waterfront. The Motor City, as you would expect, has an extensive freeway system that allows quick access to the suburbs and surrounding counties. The beautifully restored Fox Theater, along with the Gem Theater and Second City are nearby, as are the Fisher Theater and WSU's Hillberry and Bonstelle Theaters for the performing arts. The DMC shares office space with the world-class Detroit Symphony Orchestra at Orchestra Place and employees often receive special discounts on DSO performances and other events. Other nearby attractions not to be missed include the Detroit Institute of Arts (the fifth largest art museum in the country), the Museum of African-American History and the recently restored Michigan Opera Theater. Also within walking distance are the Detroit Historical Museum, the Detroit Public Library, and the Detroit Science Center. In the nearby city of Dearborn is the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, the largest indoor/outdoor museum complex in the country.

If you enjoy sports, Michigan has it all - from amateur and professional teams to individual outdoor sports and recreation. Near the DMC's Central Campus is Comerica Park, the new the new home of the Detroit Tigers baseball team, and Ford Field (home of the Detroit Lions). A short distance away is Joe Louis Arena, the home of the Detroit Red Wings hockey team. The Detroit Pistons basketball team makes their home at the Palace in Auburn Hills (which also hosts a variety of concerts and other events).

For those who desire a more hands on approach to recreation, Michigan offers up marathons, sailing, boating, cycling tours and races, hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, tennis tournaments, and some of the most beautiful golf courses in the world.
