Robert Riney
President and CEO, Henry Ford Health
In his two-plus years as Henry Ford Health’s top executive, Riney has overseen a joint venture with Ascension Michigan creating a $10.5 billion organization, launched a co-branded Medicare Advantage plan with Health Alliance Plan, and implemented a pay increase for eligible team members — resulting in a 12% decrease in registered nurse turnover at Henry Ford Hospital. He also has committed time and energy to the community, including helping to raise more than $1.2 million for the American Heart Association as co-chair of the 2024 Metro Detroit Heart and Stroke Walk. His role on the board of Business Leaders of Michigan allows Riney to advocate for economic policies that improve healthcare accessibility and quality throughout Michigan. And as a trustee of the Alfred I. duPont Charitable Trust, Riley helps shape philanthropic efforts that positively affect the well-being of children globally.
