Part of the McLaren Health Care system since 2006, Mount Clemens Regional Medical Center has changed its name to McLaren Medical Center–Macomb.  The new name more directly ties the medical center to McLaren Health Care, a nationally recognized health care system.

With headquarters in Flint, Michigan, McLaren Health Care includes ten regional hospitals in the state of Michigan.  Recognized as one of the top integrated health care networks in the nation, McLaren is one of the largest health care providers in the state with a system-wide reach of nearly 35% of Michigan residents through more than 200 locations.  McLaren hospitals in Southeast Michigan include McLaren – Macomb and McLaren – Oakland (formerly POH Regional Medical Center, located in Pontiac.)

“While our name has changed, our patients can be assured that the leading-edge technology, clinical research and award-winning health care they have come to depend on never will,” said Mark O’Halla, McLaren–Macomb’s President and chief executive officer.  “We remain committed to building stronger, healthier communities, and advancing health care in Southeast Michigan.”

As the health care industry continues to experience significant change, the ability of health care systems to utilize integrated processes will become more important. Identifying more closely with the McLaren network helps McLaren–Macomb move in that direction.  All McLaren facilities are undergoing a similar process of renaming to help unify the system’s subsidiaries and to make it easier for the public, patients and referring physicians to readily recognize McLaren facilities. 

In addition to becoming Macomb County’s first and only verified trauma center, McLaren–Macomb is also an accredited chest pain center.  McLaren–Macomb offers a wide range of health care services, including the latest treatment options for cancer, cardiac and surgical patients at its Ted B. Wahby Cancer Center, Mat Gaberty Heart Center and state-of-the art robotic surgery center.
