A U-M team has created a set of eight COVID-19 guidebooks for patients and their loved ones, based on the wisdom and experience of people who have lived through the disease or served as caregivers to others.
The season of giving has once again arrived in Michigan. But this one comes amid a surging pandemic, an economic downturn, and a looming deadline for continuation of federal financial relief. All of these have created intense need in communities surrounding Michigan Medicine.

Thanks to teamwork among a group of Michigan physician organizations, including Michigan Medicine's faculty group, approximately 40,000 Medicare participants across the state received better care in 2019, even though their care cost tens of millions of dollars less than predicted, according to new data just released by the federal government.
Michigan Medicine is launching a second food and toiletry drive for the community, in partnership with Food Gatherers.

U-M researchers have launched dozens of COVID-19 studies in the past six weeks, working at top speed to understand the new coronavirus, test ways of preventing or treating COVID-19, and measure the pandemic’s effects on people and society. Now, they need the public’s help.
As part of its COVID-19 donation drive, Michigan Medicine has started accepting hand-made cloth masks for staff working in non-patient care settings, and 3-D printed “mask adjuster” bands to prevent sore ears among clinical staff. The two new items join the list of other supplies and financial donations being collected to help Michigan Medicine teams and community partners. These include personal protective gear such as masks, gowns and gloves; meals for front-line staff, and non-perishable food and toiletries for Food Gatherers.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Michigan Medicine is teaming with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and 25 other Michigan hospitals to collect comprehensive clinical data on COVID-19 patients to be included in an extensive registry that will provide insight into best practices in treating patients with the virus.
Members of the community can help Michigan Medicine respond to COVID-19 in many ways.
