Sign in to Family Helpers and look for student profiles flagged “AVAILABLE TO HELP DURING CORONAVIRUS EMERGENCY.” This resource is for Michigan Medicine employees.
- Washtenaw Intermediate School District and Child Care Network First Responder Care: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued an executive order to coordinate additional child care for first responders. This service is for anyone on campus or at Michigan Medicine with an essential role in care, safety, cleaning, and dining support.
