Appointment Locations Update During COVID-19
Temporary Clinic Changes During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Updated March 26, 2020
In order to limit exposure for our patients, their families, and our staff, we have made several adjustments at our outpatient clinics, and many of our clinics are scaling back operations temporarily. This means that:
• Non-essential appointments may be rescheduled, or, in many cases, turned into Video Visits or E-Visits.
• Your appointment may be in a different location than when it was scheduled. Use the tool below to see if your clinic is affected.
If your clinic is not listed, patients are still being seen at that location. If you have questions about appointments, you may:
• Call your clinic phone number. All clinics are still accessible by telephone.
• Send your provider team messages through the Patient Portal.
If you believe you may have COVID-19 and are a Michigan Medicine patient, please call our COVID-19 hotline at 734-763-6336, or use an E-Visit to be evaluated by a Michigan Medicine health care provider.
