Southwest Detroit Hospital was a hospital located in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan, United States. 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.

In 2024, Detroit City Football Club acquired the former hospital site as the preferred location for a new soccer stadium.

Before and during the civil rights movement, the lack of hospitals accepting Black patients lead to poorer health among African-Americans compared to their white counterparts. African-American doctors were usually segregated to black-only hospitals; it was very uncommon for them to be working within larger hospitals. Many of these hospitals are now gone, including those that led to the founding of Southwest Detroit Hospital. (The only black-owned and operated hospital remaining in the U.S. is Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C.)

By the late 1960s, several small black-only hospitals in Detroit had merged to form one larger hospital to serve their communities better. This merged hospital became Southwest Detroit Hospital. By the early 1970s, the hospitals of Boulevard General, Delray General, Burton Mercy, and Trumbull General (the last being black-owned and the newest hospital of the group) had decided to merge their resources for a larger hospital, deciding on a 246-bed hospital at a cost of $21 million. The hospital's construction was completed by 1973, being granted the deed to the building in October 1973. The hospital operated under stable conditions for the first few years; in the late 1970s, the hospital began to encounter numerous lawsuits and controversies.

In 1977, a doctor at Southwest, Leonardo Lopez, was charged for selling illegal forms of amphetamines and was suspended from practicing medicine for 6 months. Lopez returned to the hospital on the condition that he could only prescribe there. Lopez attempted to appeal the ruling but was unsuccessful. This was part of a larger operation; over 86 doctors had faced various charges related to unethical medical decisions.

In 1990, the 6th District court in Michigan heard the case of Elease Thornton, who sued the hospital. According to Thornton, she had stayed at the hospital for 21 days in August 1987, and the hospital released her while she was in an unstable condition following a stroke. In December 1987, Thornton was admitted to a local rehabilitation center following an initial denial into the center due to a lack of health insurance. Even though the Circuit Court of Appeals ruled alongside the 6th District that Thornton was stable enough to be discharged from the hospital (therefore following the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act), the case could have been a final blow to the hospital, as the hospital would soon declare bankruptcy and close a year later in 1991. Despite the bankruptcy, and a candlelight vigil to save the hospital, several operations continued to stay open until 1993.

In 1996, Ultimed, a company owned and led by Detroit businessman and developer Harley K. Brown, purchased the building for $1.5 million and re-opened the hospital under the name United Community Hospital, which then opened in 1997. In 1999, Brown invested $6 million in renovations and updates for the first two floors of the hospital. Despite this investment, the hospital still struggled, similar to its predecessor on the same grounds.
