      Care Pages | ATM / Cashier's Office |  Nichols Arboretum | Patient Relations | Pharmacy

 

CarePages

The U-M Health System and CarePages have partnered to help patients use the web to communicate with friends and family while hospitalized. This free service lets patients set up a unique web page for themselves, family members or friends who are hospitalized at University Hospital.

This page can be used to:

• Post and receive updates on the patient's condition
• Post and receive messages for the patient -- and each other -- regardless of time and geographic location
• Share patient information -- CarePages are personal and secure
• Order gifts and make donations -- links to online retailers make it easier to purchase flowers or gifts or make charitable donations in the patient's name.

As a special service for Cancer Center patients, CarePages can be initiated or updated at the computers located at the Patient Education Resource Center (PERC) in the Cancer Center or in any of the public lounges of the cancer inpatient units in University Hospital.

To learn more about CarePages, visit their web site or visit the PERC on level B1 of the Cancer Center for an online tour.
