When procedures and technology aren't good enough, Beaumont invents something better. Beaumont was the first hospital in America to perform heart valve replacement through a catheter, instead of with open-heart surgery. Beaumont proved angioplasty is the most effective way to stop heart attacks while they are happening. Because 24 hours is too long to wait to find out if chest pain is a major heart problem, Beaumont proved that advanced CT screening can give us answers 90% faster. When other cancer treatments weren't accurate enough, Beaumont invented Omnibeam - the world's most powerful and precise radiation Each year, Beaumont is involved in more than 850 clinical trials and research studies to improve the quality of medicine around the world. That's why choosing a hospital could be the most important decision you'll ever make.
