18.H Health Care and Services/Resources

Faculty at the University of Michigan have easy access to some of the best medical care in the world. The University of Michigan Health System (UMHS), whose resources are available to members of the University community, is consistently ranked among the best health care institutions in the nation and proudly maintains a long tradition of excellence in patient care, teaching, and research. It comprises the top-ranked UM Medical School, three UM hospitals, and more than 150 health centers and outpatient clinics. For more information, consult the UMHS website at <www.med.umich.edu>.

The University Health Service (UHS) is a health care facility, located on the Ann Arbor Campus, that offers many outpatient services in one building for UM students, faculty, and staff. Outpatient services do not include emergencies or procedures that require hospitalization. Many of the services provided to currently enrolled students by UHS are covered by the Health Service fee. University faculty, including faculty on the Flint and Dearborn campuses, are eligible to use the Health Service on an M-Care (University health insurance) or fee-for-service basis. Spouses, significant others, and dependents 10 years of age and older may also use the Health Service on an M-Care or fee-for-service basis. UHS is located on Central Campus at 207 Fletcher Street. For more information, consult the UHS website at <www.uhs.umich.edu> or call the general information number, 764-8320.
