Experience. McLaren-Greater Lansing began delivering health care to mid-Michigan residents in 1913. Our accomplishments testify to our experience: 

• In our earliest days, mothers came to McLaren-Greater Lansing to give birth. Today, we deliver more than 1,900 newborns annually in one-room, labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum 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.
• McLaren-Greater Lansing , through its McLaren affiliation, is part of the McLaren Cancer Institute (McLaren Cancer Institute). 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, McLaren-Greater Lansing 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.
