On Monday, July 26, the Grosse Pointe Classic will be held at the Country Club of Detroit. Funds raised at this annual event will benefit the renovation of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Beaumont, Grosse Pointe. Golfers will enjoy a fun afternoon golfing the beautiful championship course designed by Harry S. Colt, along with lunch, cocktails, dinner, gifts and auction.
Chris and Anne Blake of Grosse Pointe Farms are the 2021 event co-chairs. “After missing a year due to the pandemic, we are honored to chair this important event,” said Chris Blake. “The outing is a great opportunity to support our community’s hospital and to have a hand in its growth. This year our fundraising efforts will concentrate on support for the many area residents suffering from heart issues.”
Heart care at Beaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe has grown significantly over the last 15 years. Since 2007, the hospital has focused on expanding the services it offers its patients and the Grosse Pointe community, recruiting cardiovascular specialists to manage and conduct diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterizations, including angioplasties which restore blood flow through narrow or blocked arteries.

The renovated lab will include advanced imaging equipment in the form of a C-arm x-ray system. The C-arm encircles the patient at different points throughout the catheterization procedure, providing real-time images to the surgical team. The system includes radiation safety measures to ensure the smallest amount of exposure possible for patients, physicians and technicians. The technology also integrates seamlessly with other equipment in the lab to provide real-time patient data throughout the procedure. In addition, the renovation will include an extensive upgrade and redesign of the control room where clinicians monitor and support all patient care activity in the laboratory procedure area.
