The University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) is making a great impact in Ann Arbor and throughout the state.  Recently they reported that through charity care and contributions to community health plans, they provide a community benefit of approximately $323 million.  The largest portion of this benefit goes toward unreimbursed direct patient care.  Much of these funds go toward supporting the uninsured and those on Medicaid and Medicare.

The University of Michigan Health Care System is supporting the community with more than just dollars.  They also foster many community health education programs and health screenings, provide meals, and improve housing.  Washtenaw County residents benefited directly in 2008 to the tune of $43.8 million.

UMHS mission is to be “a leader in research, education and patient care.”  They draw much needed research funding to Michigan’s economy and help to provide care to hundreds of thousands of patients each year.  More than 30% of U of M Med School graduates stay in the state to practice and care for our residents.  What a great benefit and blessing to our community.
