Support Innovation Where Health Care Journeys Begin

With your generosity, the Division of General Medicine is creating a future where doctors and patients have long-term healing relationships and all people can access the care they need.

ADVANCING CLINICAL CARE

We aim to transform primary care. Your gift helps us innovate in our clinics and share what we learn with others, ensuring that more people have access to the highest quality care. Your support also fuels our research at the state and national levels so we can impact policy, promote prevention, and improve health care for all.

DEVELOPING LEADERS AND EXPERTS

Philanthropy supports the professional development and well-being of our primary care physicians, empowering them to reach their full potential. Your partnership also helps us attract the best students and trainees to the field of general medicine and support their development, impacting patient care for decades to come.

Together, we can make an important difference in the lives of the people we serve.

By harnessing the power of positive change through research and innovation, and offering a patient care environment that represents the future of primary care, we hope to bring about change that will develop a strong and responsive primary care system locally and nationally, support our doctors and patients, and show Michigan Medicine’s learners what their future could hold if they choose a primary care path. Philanthropic donations are crucial for funding our primary care centered research and innovation programs and for supporting pioneering approaches that address physician wellbeing and engagement.
