Southwest Detroit Hospital is an abandoned hospital located in the Mexicantown neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan. It opened in 1973 as the first Detroit hospital to hire and accredit African American doctors and nurses, which was uncommon in the United States at that time. The original hospital was only in existence for 17 years; in 1991, it declared bankruptcy and closed down.In 1997, the hospital re-opened as United Community Hospital; however, due to financial struggles, the hospital closed again in January 2006. Since then, the building has been abandoned, with various redevelopment plans falling through over the years.
