Southfield-based Beaumont Health experienced year-over-year volume decreases across the board in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, affecting inpatient discharges, observations, births, emergency visits, surgeries, and physician encounters.
The health systemsâ net income was $329.6 million, a decrease of $60.6 million from 2019. Operating revenues fell to $4.58 billion, a $122.4 million decrease. However, the effect of the pandemic revenue decline was offset by CARES dollars, which Beaumont continues to apply.

For many Americans over age 65, these medications provide an effective means of managing disease and improving quality of life and longevity.
Library image of stethoscope A WIRRAL MP has urged health secretary Matt Hancock to give a cast-iron guarantee that he will legislate to ensure that NHS patient data cannot be used to promote or sell private health insurance or services to patients .

The plans would put Integrated Care Systems (ICSs), which are partnerships between the organisations that meet health and care needs across an area, on a statutory footing. ICSs can include NHS organisations, local councils and other partners’ – leading to concerns that there is nothing to rule out private companies playing a large part in the delivery of healthcare locally, thus undermining the NHS.
