Experience. Ingham began delivering health care
to mid-Michigan residents in 1913. Our accomplishments
testify to our experience:
• In our earliest days,
mothers came to Ingham to give birth. Today, we
deliver more than 1,900 newborns annually in one-room,
labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum (LDRP) suites
that pamper moms and encourage birth as a family
experience.
• Dr. Seong Chi and his
heart team performed the first open heart surgery
in 1965. Today, we still do open heart surgery,
but we’ve excelled in minimally-invasive
placement of balloon angioplasties and stents,
coronary brachytherapy and endovascular surgery.
• The first arthroscopic
knee replacement surgery was done by Dr. Lanny
Johnson in the early 70s. Today, we’re ranked
among the top 5% nationally for total joint replacement.
• Ingham, through its
McLaren affiliation, is part of the Great Lakes
Cancer Institute (GLCI). Now, we can take greater
advantage of combined clinical skills and research
trials to offer patients a wide array of treatments
used in nationally renowned cancer treatment centers.
Further, Ingham enjoys a special affiliation in
radiation oncology with the University of Michigan
and Michigan State University. Our precision, computer-driven
technology directs cancer-destroying x-ray beams
to the tumor site, minimizing injury to healthy
surrounding tissues.
