History

Beaumont

Groundbreaking began in 1953 for "Oakland Hospital," but because of a delivery mix-up and to further distinguish itself from nearby Oakwood Hospital it was decided to change the name of the new hospital. The new name was William Beaumont Hospital (WBH), the doors were officially open on January 24, 1955 with 238-beds in Royal Oak, Michigan in 1955.[24] The hospitals, the overall health system and the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine are all named for William Beaumont, a U.S. Army surgeon who became known as the "Father of Gastric Physiology" following his research on human digestion started at Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island, Michigan.[24][25][26][27]

Botsford

In 1965, Botsford General Hospital opened with 200 beds adjacent to the historic Botsford Inn, a former stagecoach stop on Grand River in Farmington Hills. The hospital opened as an expansion to Zieger Clinic Hospital in Detroit, opened by Dr. Allen Zieger in 1944.

Oakwood

Oakwood Hospital opened on Jan. 5, 1953 and grew to include four hospitals and ambulatory centers in and around Dearborn.[28]

The decision to build a "voluntary" hospital on land donated by Henry Ford II and Ford Motor Company was controversial at the time, as Dearborn mayor Orville L. Hubbard supported a competing proposal for a municipal facility. After months of contentious debate, the voluntary hospital plan was approved, with the ground-breaking taking place in August 1950.

Beaumont Health

In March 2014, the Beaumont Health System, along with Botsford Health Care and Oakwood Healthcare, signed a letter of intent to merge their operations.[29]

Failed merger attempt with Advocate Aurora

In 2020, Beaumont and Advocate Aurora, a 28-hospital system in Illinois and Wisconsin, announced plans to merge into a combined company worth $17 billion.[30][31] These plans were called off in October 2020, in part because physicians, lawmakers, staff, and donors were concerned that it would harm patient care.[31][32]

Executive bonuses, layoffs, and calls for termination of executives

Beaumont was harshly criticized by some of its physicians and other staff for paying bonuses to its executives, including US$2.6 million to CEO John Fox, amid laying off thousands of workers and receiving US$866 million in Federal CARES Act funds related to the COVID-19 pandemic. A long-time Beaumont cardiologist, Robert Safian, sent letters to its board calling for termination of CEO John Fox, as well as the chief operating officer and the chief medical officer. Safian cited the "toxic culture" of fear and intimidation and implementation of cost-saving measures that impact patient care and force physicians out of the system. A number of other leading physicians at Beaumont have sent letters of complaint.[33][34][35]
