Located within the new Dearborn Town Center development, the Midwest Medical Center will provide citizens of Dearborn, Detroit and southeast Michigan with comprehensive healthcare services including: 24-hour walk-in urgent care, primary and multi-specialty medical care, state-of-the-art imaging technologies, and on-site laboratory and pharmacy, an operating room, enhanced corporate health and occupational medicine programs, as well as a restaurant and retail amenities.

Midwest is part of a multi-specialty corporation established by Dr. Saffer in 1981, which was acquired by Oakwood in January 2009. Dr. Saffer, who has been recognized for his innovation of healthcare delivery models, oversees the day-to-day management of all Midwest facilities and will also lead the new Dearborn center.
