"Patients and Families First" is the motto of the
University of Michigan Health System. The pharmacy department
strives to see patients and their families through a number of services
and locations.
We serve our patients both in the inpatient and outpatient
setting. When patients are in the hospital or receiving care at a
UMHS facility, pharmacists are there working with physicians and nurses
to ensure best care. Pharmacists serve as experts in drug therapy
and dosing. Pharmacists perform functions like making sure
chemotherapy orders are correct and properly dosed, helping patients and
physicians with anticoagulation dosing, and dosing for drugs such as
antibiotics and anticonvulsants.
The pharmacy also provides outpatient locations for patients to fill
prescriptions. Because of the specialized care that UMHS provides,
often other community based pharmacies are not equipped to handle some
of the complicated prescriptions that patients receive.
We offer the follow locations for our patients:
