Allen Zieger, D.O. (1910-1984) founded Zieger Osteopathic Hospital in
Detroit. Established in 1944, Zieger Osteopathic Hospital was the predecessor
organization to Botsford General Hospital which opened in Farmington Hills
in 1965. Named in his memory, the Zieger Health Care Corporation honors
Dr. Zieger's life and spirit. A clinician, surgeon, administrator, and
educator, Dr. Zieger was the recipient of the Walter F. Patenge Medal of
Public Service from the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic
Medicine,
and the American Osteopathic Hospital Association Award of Merit. Dr. Zieger
was committed to excellence in health care, to the well-being of the
community,
and to medical education. The Zieger Health Care Corporation was founded on
these beliefs which unite us as a mutually supportive corporate family.
