Located within the surrounding city of Southfield, Lathrup Village, is a charming area with friendly neighbors and beautiful, tree-lined subdivisions.  The village was the brainchild of developer Louise Lathrup Kelley, when in 1923 she purchased 1,000 acres of land in Southfield.  She then began to plot out the one and a half square mile area into plots where residential construction began.  Kelley was an amazing innovator of her time and established numerous ways to connect the relatively isolated village to more established neighborhoods, including ways to shuttle residents back and forth to attend to their shopping needs.  She was also responsible for holding builders and contractors to the highest of building standards which is evident in the quality of the custom built homes still standing today. Kelley’s out-of-the-box thinking lead to a unique method for residents, which allowed them to wrap auto financing into their home mortgages. This new loan process further enabled the town’s people to connect with neighboring towns.  The village was officially incorporated in 1953 and Kelley, along with her husband, continued making remarkable contributions to the growing city.  Upon her death in 1963, Kelley’s remaining land holdings were sold and developed.

It’s that kind of dedication, hard work and innovative thinking that creates new towns like Lathrup Village, advances in technology and innovations in medicine.  Dr. James Dowd is an innovator who founded the Arthritis Institute of Michigan in 1998, creating the first rheumatologic center in the history of Livingston County.  By 2002 the institute was the first completely electronic office in the county with computers in each room and wireless broad band networking. The Arthritis Institute of Michigan moved to a state-of-the-art facility in Brighton in 2003, designed specifically for arthritis patients. There is barrier free access, drive up and covered drop off and natural lighting in every room of the building. In addition, the new facility houses an infusion suite and a clinical research center. Dr. Dowd’s groundbreaking book, The Vitamin D Cure is a one of its kind plan to increase Vitamin D levels in the body through simple, individualized supplementation with Vitamin D, carefully increased sun exposure, and exercise. Through its clear and down-to-earth five-step plan, The Vitamin D Cure shows how variations in our diet and activity levels can have a profound impact on our health and well-being.

If you or a loved one is suffering from a painful rheumatic condition such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, scleroderma, childhood arthritis, knee, shoulder, hip or neck pain or any of the other inflammatory or rheumatic conditions, Dr. Dowd can help you live a healthier life. We invite you to learn more about how you can feel better and be better. Dr. Dowd will be happy to answer any of your health related questions. The Arthritis Institute of Michigan is currently accepting new patients.
