McLaren Macomb, part of statewide McLaren Health Care and a comprehensive health care provider serving all of Macomb County, has named Hassan Beiz, MD, FACP, as its Chief Medical Officer.
Serving in the same role at McLaren Oakland since July 2023, Dr. Beiz will assume the leadership position at McLaren Macomb following several years of distinguished service from Dr. Andrew Staricco.
Dr. Beiz’s transition to McLaren Macomb follows the appointment of Tracey Franovich as hospital President and CEO in the spring of 2024 after having served in the same position at McLaren Oakland, where she was instrumental in bringing Dr. Beiz to the organization.
“In working closely with Dr. Beiz and getting to know him, he clearly demonstrated himself to be an effective leader and influential partner to all clinical teams,” Franovich said. “The focus of his energy is on creating an environment and maintaining a staff that best serves the needs of our patients while also providing a caring and compassionate experience. I am very pleased to again be working alongside Dr. Beiz and welcome him to McLaren Macomb.”
While at McLaren Oakland, Dr. Beiz was instrumental in fostering and firmly establishing a collaborative clinical environment among physicians, care teams, and hospital staff, while improving several quality metrics.
“It has been an incredible pleasure to work alongside such a compassionate and talented staff of providers and caregivers, and I am looking forward to this new opportunity with McLaren Macomb,” Dr. Beiz said. “The hospital, through its many services and the care provided by its staff, are vital to Macomb County. I am a strong believer in collaboration and look forward to working with this team so together we can make a meaningful and positive impact on this community.”
An internal medicine hospitalist by training, Dr. Beiz brings experience as a physician leader across a range of roles. Immediately prior to joining McLaren, he served as medical director of clinical quality at a mid-Michigan hospital. He also maintains roles in academia, serving as internal medicine core faculty, residency site director, assistant program director, and assistant professor of medicine, all at the Central Michigan University College of Medicine. He also served as the founding medical director of CMU’s academic hospital medicine program.
“Dr. Beiz’s time with McLaren has been marked with measurable quality and safety improvements at McLaren Oakland,” said Dr. Justin Klamerus, McLaren Health Care Executive Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer. “He is a disciplined quality improvement leader and a champion of clinical and service excellence to our patients. McLaren Macomb is a key provider of care to its community, offering a wide range of critical services, and we are very pleased Dr. Beiz will take on an expanded role within our organization.”
Serving all of Macomb with locations throughout the county, McLaren Macomb has a staff of more than 400 physicians and provides a range of clinical services, including primary and emergency care, surgical services, cardiovascular care, and the hospital is a verified Level II trauma center and a Comprehensive Stroke Center.
Dr. Beiz earned his medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine and completed his residency in primary care internal medicine at The University of Connecticut before returning home to practice in Michigan.
