Inside This Issue

Around UMHS

  • The University Hospital branch of UMHS Financial, a service of Midwest Financial Credit Union, is now a Shared Branch. This means members of other credit unions across the country who participate in the Shared Branching network—like U-M Credit Union and Huron River Financial—can take care of their financial business at the uh location without paying “outsider” fees. The UH branch of UMHS financial is located on floor 2, down the hall from the Cafeteria. The branch is open 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and there are two 24-hour ATMs.

  • C+W Construction Project Update: While construction moves forward on our new Women and Children’s facility, the campaign to raise funds to support the effort continues successfully with events like the June 13 radiothon hosted by U-M Athletics that raised $100,000 and the 2008 Mott Golf Classic that pledged $1 million for the in-hospital Ronald McDonald House. Next milestone? The official beam signing!

  • Celebrate Ergonomics Awareness Month this October with Michigan Healthy Community incentive awards and grants. Do you need funding to implement strategies that make your workplace safer? If so, look into the Ergo Grant Incentive Program. Do you deserve recognition for changes you’ve implemented to improve the safety of your unit? Apply for an Effective Ergonomic Solutions Award. Both programs close Oct. 31, 2008.

  • Being in the hospital is many things, but fun is rarely one of them. So how do you provide teens with an entertaining and creative way to pass their time in the hospital? Follow Child and Family Life’s expert example and create an original, interactive resource like the new Mott Active Book. The book includes how-to pages, sudoku, writing and drawing activities, essays and short stories, and much more—all contributed by professional local artists, writers and others. CFL provided funding for the project, including hosting a benefit show at Ann Arbor’s Neutral Zone teen center that raised $1,500 for production and printing.
