Practice/Mission/Vision Statement
Beaumont has grown from a single 238-bed hospital - opened in 1955 to serve a small community in Royal Oak, Michigan - into a three-hospital regional medical center.
In 1977, Beaumont expanded into Troy with what is now a 361-bed community and teaching hospital that is ranked among the nation's busiest smaller community hospitals. In October 2007, Beaumont acquired a third, community hospital with 289 beds in Grosse Pointe. The original Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak facility has evolved into a 1,061-bed tertiary care, teaching, research and referral hospital that is the largest inpatient hospital in the country. Today, our medical staff includes more than 3,100 physicians representing more than 91 medical and surgical specialties.
Beaumont Hospital is a regional and national leader in providing health care services, medical education and medical research. Beaumont's mission is to provide the highest quality health care services to all of our patients regardless of where they live or their financial circumstances. Beaumont provides these services most efficiently, effectively and compassionately to ensure they are of the highest possible value to those who receive them and to those who pay for them.

About
Values
How we accomplish our mission is as important as the mission itself.
Fundamentals to our mission are:
People - our employees, physicians and volunteers are our strength. They determine our reputation and vitality. Teamwork and personal respect are our human values.
Services - our services for patients in need are the reason for our being.
Financial Viability - our ability to provide high quality service at reasonable cost is one measure of our effectiveness. Our ability to reinvest resources into continually better treatment methods and facilities is another.
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.
