William Beaumont Hospital

Beaumont opened on January 24, 1955 as a 238-bed community hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. Today, that hospital is a 1,061-bed major academic and referral center with Level 1 trauma status and Michigan's first Magnet-designated hospital for nursing excellence. The hospital ranks first in the United States for inpatient admissions and second for its number of surgeries. A second Beaumont hospital opened in Troy in 1977 as a 200-bed acute care community teaching hospital. It is now among the nation's highest-volume community hospitals with 361 beds, and is third for its number of admissions and fourth in surgeries among hospitals of its size. In October 2007, Beaumont became a regional health provider when it acquired a third, community hospital with 289 beds in Grosse Pointe. Ninety-one medical and surgical specialties are represented on the Beaumont medical staffs of more than 3,100 physicians. Beaumont is accredited by the Joint Commission.

Beaumont is a major teaching facility that has 37 accredited residency and fellowship programs with 400 residents and fellows.

How Beaumont got its name
Beaumont is named for William Beaumont, M.D., who - in 1822 at an isolated army outpost on Mackinac Island, Michigan - made a breakthrough in the study of human digestion and physiology. After a French Canadian trapper suffered an abdominal wound that healed with a permanent opening, Dr. Beaumont took the opportunity to study digestion, both inside and outside the stomach. He conducted 238 experiments and published several reports that were considered the most important work on human digestion at that time.
