Our story
A native of Detroit, Dr. Eden always knew she wanted to practice medicine. As a child, excelling in S.T.E.M courses in school, Dr. Eden graduated from Yale University pre-med with a Mechanical Engineering degree. Going on to complete medical school at the University of Michigan and a residency at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Neurological Surgery, the doctor spent the last 12 years practicing neurosurgery in Kalamazoo and held an academic affiliation with Western Michigan University.
She is definitely accomplishing her dreams, and she has another goal – to tackle the disparities in healthcare that have become so evident in the midst of this pandemic.
“I have to come to Detroit to invest in the city that invested heavily in me,” shared Eden. “This is where my heart is. This is where my home is. It means a lot to come back and help in the growth of a program and something great for the citizens of Detroit.”
