Giving to Environmental, Social & Governance
Beyond medicine: caring for the health of our communities
Your gift champions a cleaner environment, strong communities, and better health for all.
Advancing community health and environmental sustainability
At Michigan Medicine, incredible care doesn’t stop at our hospital walls. With your partnership, we build healthier, safer, and stronger communities so people can thrive.
Your gift helps us reduce health disparities and build more resilient communities by:
- Reducing our environmental impact
- Improving health access
- Reducing the impact of substance use and mental illness
- Promoting ethical leadership
- Building community engagement
- Supporting stable, safe, and affordable housing
Donations enable our nationally-recognized experts in public health, mental health and substance use, and other critical areas to develop effective programs and partnerships across U-M and our community.
Thanks to philanthropic support, we have a long history of positive impact in addressing the root causes of health disparities.
Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels, one of our donor-supported community health programs, has delivered healthy meals, household supplies, and friendly visits to our homebound neighbors since 1974.
With donations and volunteer support, our partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley supports affordable housing, home repairs, and home appliances for people with low incomes across Washtenaw County.
Our faculty use donor funds to launch research studies and develop innovative projects focused on community health and partnerships.
These are just a few of the ways your support has an important impact.
Highlight: Reducing Michigan Medicine’s environmental impact
With donor support, we are minimizing our environmental impact through sustainability initiatives that include:
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions through “green anesthesia” and other efforts
- Eliminating chemicals of concern from our supplies and building materials
- Identifying ways to minimize waste and recycle more
- Sourcing healthy and sustainable food for our health system
