40 years ago this weekend, we opened a new University Hospital, to replace the one that had served as our flagship since 1925 and had truly earned the nickname "Old Main."

You can see both hospitals in this postcard image from the early 1980s, with Old Main and its attached buildings at center right, and the "Replacement Hospital" under construction at left. The Taubman Center, not yet built when this photo was taken, was also part of the project.

On Valentine's Day 1986, hundreds of staff and volunteers came together to move 400 patients, and all the equipment and supplies needed to care for them, from one hospital to the other.

Read about the history, and future, of today's University Hospital here: https://michmed.org/GQx8W

Come to our museum exhibit before it closes this spring, to learn more about our entire 175-year history: https://michmed.org/museum

Do you remember Old Main, the big move, or the early days of UH? Share memories in the comments!

🐐🐐 Meet the GOATs! 🐐🐐

The Surgical Short Stay Unit (SSSU) received the GOAT award from the M2C2 (Capacity Command) for achieving discharge efficiency in the last quarter! What does this mean? From the time the patients receive discharge orders, the unit is able to send them home within 102 minutes. Patients and families love it! The staff do too!

Thank you to everyone in the SSSU and the nursing leadership: LaChonda Sullivan, Darice Rosario and John Fairchild.

Meet two members of our call center team!

RiLinda Hodge has been with Michigan Medicine for seven years, starting out as a medical assistant in the float pool before transitioning to the senior float pool for the Contact Center.

When asked what she loves most about her job, RiLinda said "I love knowing that I can make a difference for patients through compassion, clear communication and support."

Colleen Comben just celebrated her 10-year anniversary with the transplant contact center!

As Colleen said: "Our roles in the Contact Center can be challenging, but the reward is unmatched: knowing that what we do helps save lives, improve health and maintain quality of life for our patients. That’s what drives me."

Thank you, RiLinda and Colleen, for everything you do!

In celebration of Recreational Therapy Month, today we're celebrating Courtney Fankhauser, a recreational therapist and program administrator for UMAISE.

UMAISE is the U-M Adaptive and Inclusive Sports Experience. As administrator, Courtney plans and runs activities for the community, including adaptive kayaking, golf, fishing, boccia and an adult sports club. On top of all that, she also runs the Rollverines, a competitive youth wheelchair basketball program.

It’s an impressive collection of programs that are all an incredible asset to the Michigan Medicine organization. Thank you, Courtney, for all you do!

Thank you to the awesome team members who work in the B2 Warehouse for Supply Chain Services!

We are so lucky to have these colleagues managing an astounding number of deliveries every day, making sure we’re receiving the correct items in the correct amount when we need them. At the same time, everything is appropriately catalogued and stored so items can be located and transferred at any given time.

Basically everything that is needed to take care of patients passes by this team: Bernadine Irby-Cobb, Anom Willis, Ron Waker, Chris Szymchack, Beatrice Sweet, Nathan McQueen, Cherry Pana and Pinkelyn Publico.

Thank you for all of your hard work!
