#Hatcher has the book! Now I have to find out if my #MichiganMedicine ID allows me to check out books from central campus 😭 I hope so, but #hospital ID is so useless on the #academic side

Interesting! Yeah, it's different at #MichiganMedicine - #doctors stay here because they have ties here. The #salary is much, much lower than other states (due to poor #commercial #insurance compensation).

BCBS of Michigan vs Michigan Medicine – Network Contract Watch Negotiations between Michigan Medicine and BCBS of Michigan continue ahead of the June 30 contract expiration date.

#MichiganMedicine provides some of the most complex care in the state – but is reimbursed significantly less than peer academic medical centers.

114 workers at Henry Ford Madison Heights Hospital offered jobs elsewhere as contract ends Henry Ford Health’s transfer of ownership of its Madison Heights hospital has resulted in the end of a contract for a support staff vendor.

This #BlueCross #MichiganMedicine debacle is not only thing going on in #Michigan #healthcare.
One of the only remaining players in the state, #HenryFord is shutting down a hospital and forcing all its staff to move.

I really don't know how long I can take this chaos ( #US #healthcare in general)

BCBS of Michigan vs Michigan Medicine – Network Contract Watch Contract talks between Michigan Medicine and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan are headed toward a June 30 deadline.

I haven't seen much #ICE presence in #AnnArbor, but I always wear my #MichiganMedicine ID (and usually my white coat with credentials on it- granted if these goons know what an MD is) and in DC I always wear my U.S. #House #Congress staff ID, so yeah, how are things going Trump-supporting #desis

Influenza wallops Michigan and hospitals feel the pinch The spread of influenza-like illness has reached "very high" levels in Michigan, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

FWIW main #MichiganMedicine requires #influenza vaccine for all its employees (or a written waiver that has to be approved). We are busy from a lot of our usual stuff ( #cancer, #heartfailure etc.), but we are seeing less flu hospitalizations than other parts of the state (Lansing is run separately)

I apologize in advance to #MichiganMedicine that I guess I will not be finishing my charting from Dec 30, 2025, like, ever (I got through 2/3 of it today!).

I doubt that #MichiganMedicine would show up on the list of SNAP beneficiaries, and that is simply because everyone except the #physicians / #faculty are #unionized (and obviously the faculty are not paid poorly enough to need SNAP, though we have no employment protection)

Sharing new guidance on preventing and controlling infections in nursing homes! Congratulations to all the authors and SHEA staff on this important publication. Please read, share, and help us disseminate these best practices widely! #MichiganMedicine, #SHEA, #AGS, #IDWEEK, #ECCMID, #APIC, #AMDA

5/ But you'll never erase the beauty, love and care from the #Trans community, #MichiganMedicine you're only erasing your own

Michigan Medicine names new chief communication and marketing officer A strategic marketing and communication expert with extensive experience in health care will assume leadership for Michigan Medicine’s communications and marketing functions

3/ And see how it works. First they hire a new chief communication & marketing officer #ChristineWoolsey #MichiganMedicine.

Then they announce an #EHR #DataBreach
www.michiganmedicine.org/news-release...

Important update to our care services The University of Michigan, including Michigan Medicine, will no longer provide gender affirming hormonal therapies and puberty blocker medications for minors.

2/ They stand against 🏳️‍⚧️.
With this disingenuous release fm #MichiganMedicine they lead w cruelty. The usual cognitive dissonance: “We will no longer provide...we will continuously support...”

want to meet some cool, insightful, tough, beautiful people? 🏳️‍⚧️ whether you know it or not, you already know #Trans people. Now in continuing, worsening danger, which is danger to us all
Where does @uofmichigan.bsky.social #MichiganMedicine stand? @erininthemorning.com

#MichiganMedicine partnership w US Military
30 day comment--nearly up if 1st notice was Sept 2.
I sent email w comments & questions today. If anyone wants to join in that or borrow from it, whatever, send me an email (see my website contact page)& I'll share w you

#GregSieg ignored my 2 phone calls

1 killed in multi-vehicle crash involving semi-truck on US-23 in Washtenaw County A deadly crash closed all lanes on US-23 near M-14 in Washtenaw County for several hours Friday following a multi-vehicle crash that involved a semi-truck.

The woman killed in this crash was a #MichiganMedicine employee, and I only found out about it because of a get together yesterday that included someone who knew her. She is being recognized by the Department she worked with, but in such a huge organization, easy to just become a statistic. Brutal

UM, you could and should fight and win. Instead, the "leaders and best" are cowering, breaking state law and endangering kids' lives. Shame. @umich.edu #michiganmedicine #protecttranskids

The backs of a large crowd of people gathered at a rally in front of Michigan Medicine Hospital

Real big turnout at the Rally for Gender Affirming Care in front of #MichiganMedicine. It was hard to hear the speakers because so many cars leaving the MM hospital were honking in support.

Gender affirming care for people under 19 is evidence based, medically necessary & shouldn't be a big deal.

4/ Going to cut off care for #trans persons for "minors" under age 19 ( see bsky.app/profile/crim... )
meanwhile
they send protected health info out on postcards whoopsie #MichiganMedicine . www.michiganmedicine.org/news-release...

2/ Meanwhile #GregSieg, in charge of info security for #UW Regional Health Network- a statewide network of "care" providers-is inviting the US Dept of War to do some kind of cybersecurity 'training' on data sets at #MichiganMedicine. bsky.app/profile/wood...
are #TransRightsAreHumanRights ? or not?

Important update to our care services The University of Michigan, including Michigan Medicine, will no longer provide gender affirming hormonal therapies and puberty blocker medications for minors.

1/2 Obvs @umich.edu and #MichiganMedicine office are cowards, putting #Trans persons in certain danger while clutching their own pearls
www.michiganmedicine.org/news-release...

But where do you stand @michigansocialwork.bsky.social @umisrcps.bsky.social @umisrcps.bsky.social @umichsph.bsky.social ?

And another thing - this is asking ONLY for comments in opposition. So maybe I fell for the trap and they will surveil everyone who's self-identified as their 'enemies'. haven't fully adjusted to #Totalitarianism #MichiganMedicine

I called and left a detailed message for Greg Sieg " #MichiganMedicine Information Assurance" at (734-936-4900) to voice my opposition, call out improper due process and to find out exactly what this project will involve.

throwing Old Greg under a bus there 🧍 🚌

So many things wrong. This is #MichiganMedicine ASKING the military to, read between lines, use military cybertech tools to surveil students, teachers, patients...I guess?

That's not how #DueProcess or #Consent work but is consistent w US #WealthCare system.

Michigan Medicine intends to solicit assistance from the Department of Defense's Innovative Readiness Training Program (IRT). The assistance will include partnership with the Air National Guard to perform cybersecurity missions; providing real-world training for its personnel while simultaneously enhancing the cybersecurity posture of communities. The proposed assistance will take place in Ann Arbor in 2026. Contractors, labor unions, or private individuals who have questions or who wish to voice opposition to military assistance for this project may contact Greg Sieg from Michigan Medicine Information Assurance at 734-936-4900 or Ask-Cybersecurity@med.umich.edu no later than thirty (30) days after the first publication of this notice. Persons not filing comments within the time frame noted will be considered to have waived their objections to military assistance for this project.

This was in the @annarborobserver.bsky.social Personally, I find that last sentence both ridiculous and chilling. Let @umich.edu #MichiganMedicine know your thoughts on their proposed partnership with the military. @aflcio.org @leounionumich.bsky.social @usu-umich.bsky.social

University of Michigan (U-M) Highest Paid Employees In 2023 the University of Michigan (U-M) reported 16,230 employees making more than $100,000 per year; the average salary was $94,617.

Not sure how accurate this is for some #surgeons who definitely make more than $250k, which is the cap for FTE based salary at #MichiganMedicine, I'm sure they get income from other sources cuz no surgeon is working for 250k lol, but better than nothing

It's one thing for faculty at SMTD to not know, but the Regents? It's their job to know these things, even if none of them have anything to do with #medicine and they don't care, they own #MichiganMedicine directly.
Part of reason I joined Faculty Senate in first place (limited success so far)
