Create forward-looking HEALTH CARE FACILITIES
Since its inception, our health care enterprise has been a resource for the citizens of our state. From our original 20-bed hospital — the first hospital owned by a university in the United States — to today’s hospitals, research buildings, and Medical School, our facilities have enabled world-renowned faculty and staff to meet the needs of the sickest children and adults, advance the most challenging areas of medicine, and prepare future leaders for health care demands and opportunities.
We are in our next critical clinical expansion phase, seeking to create transformative environments across our academic medical center and statewide health care network.
Our vision is to increase access to our services and expand our contributions to health through investments in breakthrough facilities and equipment. In research, we will grow our capacity for computing and data analysis, and we will add new laboratory space for discovery research and clinical trials. And our education spaces will embody the dynamic and engaging approaches to learning that can capture imaginations, ignite passions, inspire discovery, and cultivate intellectual and technical expertise. Your support can provide these resources to patients and families — and advance medicine and medical education for all.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPACT
Create forward-looking HEALTH CARE FACILITIES
Get behind the hospital of the future
Our landmark adult hospital — the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion — is home to our first comprehensive neurosciences center and innovative clinical facilities for otolaryngology, oral and thoracic surgery, cardiovascular care, and more. The state-of-the-art hospital is enabling us to expand access to complex specialty care and provide our state and region with the hospital of the future. Contributions to this forward-looking facility amplify its impact for the benefit of all.
WHY I GIVE
Countless doctors, nurses, caregivers, and researchers devote their entire careers, and their love, to providing world-class medical treatment and care for the many patients at the hospital. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Support communities while advancing medical research and education
We are increasing patients’ ability to access our nationally renowned clinical expertise and innovation close to home. We are pursuing capital projects across our statewide network, including at UM Health-Sparrow and UM Health-West. We are building a multispecialty facility in Troy, which will expand advanced diagnostic and specialty services to patients in the metropolitan Detroit area. And we recently expanded our Ypsilanti Health Center to better serve patients and the community. Gifts to support facilities and breakthrough clinical equipment will expand access and benefit patients locally and fuel advances in research and education.
Revolutionize our infrastructure for research and education
Investments in our infrastructure will increase the amount of space devoted to research, including new laboratories and clinical trial centers, and expand our high-speed research network, data storage, and access to health data. They will enhance our shared research resources, enabling us to deploy new research tools, advanced microscopy, imaging equipment, and more. And they will fuel education, providing new spaces and cutting-edge technology that will enhance experiences; promote active, engaged learning; and help bring learners, faculty, and all medical professionals together for mentorship and collaboration.
