PODCASTS:
(CONTINUED) Riney, a 45-year worker with Henry Ford Health, was named the company’s leader in 2022. Under his leadership, the Destination: Grand project, a complete re-imagination of Henry Ford Health’s Detroit campus, has seen a major amount of progress, aiming to improve healthcare infrastructure and the future of health for the region.
“What’s really meaningful (about) this award to me personally is what the Goodfellows do,” Riney said. “At a time that we’re really feeling a lack of kindness in the country and a lack of empathy and civility, quite frankly, for each other, events like this remind us that there’s way more good-hearted people than not.“
