McLaren Greater Lansing (MGL) (formerly Ingham Regional Medical Center) (IRMC) is a hospital in Lansing, Michigan.[2] MGL is a subsidiary of the McLaren Health Care Corporation, which is an integrated managed care health care organization operating in Michigan. Both the College of Human Medicine and the MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University are affiliated with MGLH. In January 2012 Ingham Regional Medical Center was renamed McLaren Greater Lansing.[1]

Before being recognized as McLaren Greater Lansing our hospital began as the Ingham County Tuberculosis Sanatorium. McLaren's dedication to the region began in the fall of 1913, when a 10-bed county facility opened its doors to care for those afflicted with tuberculosis.

As Greater Lansing grew over the decades, so did the hospital. Wood and nails became girder and steel, wings became towers, and the 10-bed facility grew into what we are today: a two-campus testament to compassionate care and medical innovation.

As they continue to pave the path into the future of medicine McLaren Greater Lansing has announced the construction of a new hospital. This $450 million dollar investment in the community is slated to open in 2021 and will consist of 9 stories, 18 operating rooms, 40 emergency department beds, and 240 hospital beds.

McLaren Greater Lansing (then Ingham Regional Medical Center) participated in a pilot study of a bundled payment scheme between 1987 and 1989 which involved an orthopedic surgeon and a health maintenance organization (HMO).[3] The surgeon and IRMC received a predetermined fee for any arthroscopic surgery performed, but they also provided a two-year warranty in that they promised to cover any post-surgery expenses instead of the HMO.[3] The pilot study, in which "all parties benefitted financially," is cited as an example of a successful outcome with bundled payments.[4]

On July 28, 2011, Becker's Hospital Review listed Ingham Regional Medical Center's orthopedic hospital (now McLaren Orthopedic Hospital) under 60 Hospitals With Great Orthopedic Programs.[5]
