Progress and PROMISE

We are celebrating 175 years of leadership in medicine and charting a bold course to the future. The university's Look to Michigan strategic framework for impact creates a clear path for innovation and service to the common good. As part of becoming the defining public university, we will leverage our interdisciplinary excellence and collaboration to impact the greatest health challenges in our state and our world. We launched the Michigan Medicine fundraising campaign to fulfill this transformative vision.

In nearly two centuries of momentum and growth, our supporters — farmers, teachers, auto workers, entrepreneurs and business owners, and many others — have driven us forward. You and people like you have been behind every hospital, every comprehensive institute and center, every innovation incubator, and every moment of inspiration and understanding in medical and graduate education. Here, we outline the philanthropic points of impact that will advance these defining priorities. And this is only the beginning. What else can we envision? Together, we can ensure our families, friends, neighbors, and those we may never meet benefit from our care, our discoveries, our facilities, and the expertise of those we train. Join us on a new journey toward inspiring the next surge of Michigan Answers that will define the future of medicine.

PILLAR IN ACTION

Determination, collaboration, and leading-edge technology pave the way for extraordinary care.

As a toddler, Martina’s life-threatening, massive chest tumor demanded a level of surgical precision beyond most hospitals. With the help of 3D printing, a multidisciplinary team led by Erika Newman, M.D., chief of pediatric surgery, created a tumor replica that they then used to plan the delicate operation. Dr. Newman is the Michael W. Mulholland M.D., Ph.D. Distinguished Professor of Surgery. Because of our generous supporters, we are equipped to deliver groundbreaking care and a second chance at life for even the most challenging cases.
