It appears the school will look for unique and innovative ways to help the state out with the COVID-19 outbreak.
Dr. Marschall Runge, the CEO of Michigan Medicine, and the dean of the U-M Medical School said the following: “I want to reassure the public that we are doing all we can to prepare to care for COVID-19 positive patients as well as other patients who urgently require the highly specialized, safe and reliable advanced medical care that Michigan Medicine delivers. We have reached out for donations of medical equipment and received thousands of gloves, masks and more so we can better meet this challenge.”
