Royal Oak

More than 100,000 times a year parents trust us to give their children the very best medical care. In 2008 this care was recognized by the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI) when Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, was accepted as a “children’s hospital within a hospital.” NACHRI approved Beaumont for associate membership as a hospital that offers a full range of children’s specialty services in a non-freestanding location inside a general hospital complex. At the Beaumont Children’s Hospital, patients and their families will find advanced technology, top specialists and the latest treatment methods, all designed to meet the unique needs of infants, children and adolescents.
