1 Year Anniversary of 10 East Medicine Unit at St. Joe's
The collaboration between Saint Joseph Mercy Health System and Michigan Medicine,
10 East Medicine Unit at St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor (MSJ)
, just celebrated its 1 year anniversary. The service is led by Director,
Rafina Khateeb, MD, MBA
and Assistant Director,
Ruby Marr, MD
with a vision to improve patient access to Michigan Medicine. Since launching in September 2018, the service has:
- treated over 1,600 transferred patients
- helped to lower the wait time for the patients who are recommended to be transferred from Michigan Medicine Emergency Department and clinics
- received extremely positive feedback from patients treated on the unit and their families
The Hospital Medicine Division leadership would like to thank the
entire team
for providing excellent patient care and for their hard work in transitioning this vision into a reality.
In celebration, the entire Division, as well as their families, were invited on a kayaking expedition (1.5 hours/3.7 miles) from Argo Park to Gallup Park on September 8. After the kayaking trip, people gathered at
Island Lake Park
to play cornhole and enjoy good food. A huge thank you to Ann Bennett for putting together this fun event!

This grant will allow them to create and study the impact of a novel resource - the Medical Educators' Novel Teaching On-demand Resource (MENTOR) Series. This primarily video and infographic-based resource will function as a central repository of best teaching practices that can be used as a curricular tool or an on-demand teacher's guide.
