Hospital Locations, Part 2

Beaumont's second hospital location, chronologically, is located on Dequindre Road in Troy, Michigan. The hospital currently includes a 361 bed facility.

Technically, the hospital is located on the far eastern boundary of Troy, Michigan, which is located on the eastern boundary of Oakland County, Michigan. The location's medical building, however, is located on the other side of Dequindre Road, in Sterling Heights, Michigan, which is within Macomb County, Michigan. This location is currently undergoing a major renovation and expansion, including a 123,000 square foot addition to the Emergency Center, a total of 237,000 square feet in additions to the general hospital facilities, and the relocation of certain facilities to the medical building, which will be physically connected to the main hospital by a pedestrian bridge that will span Dequindre Road (and cross two counties).

Hospital Locations, Part 1

Beaumont has three hospital locations. In this post, I will discuss the original location, it's Royal Oak, Michigan, location. This location is the hospital system's flagship location, featuring the hospital, a medical building, administrative offices, and various ancillary buildings, including a cancer center, and an imaging center. The Royal Oak location is the site of current expansion, including an expanded emergency center; and future expansion, including the clinical facilities for Beaumont's medical school, a joint venture with Oakland University. It is currently rumored that the clinical facilities will be constructed on the adjacent property currently housing the Northwood Center shopping center, which has been owned for some time by Beaumont.

Welcome

I have started this blog because the Beaumont Hospital system represents one of the few segments of the southeastern Michigan economy that is growing. However, with growth can come controversy. I will track the growth of Beaumont Hospitals, as well as any controversy that such growth engenders. I welcome comments to the blog, as well as any e-mails with tips or ideas.

I look forward to the discussion. . .
