Research Needs?

Check out the MyMichigan Health — Health Sciences Library!

The Health Sciences Library at MyMichigan Health supports patient care, education, research and management efforts by providing high quality, knowledge-based information services and resources. It provides these tools for all MyMichigan Health employees regardless of location or department.

Online & In Person

Most of the MyMichigan Health Library resources are online but there are two physical library locations in the system; the main library is located at the Midland Medical Center across the hall from the Gift Shop and the secondary library is located at the Alma Medical Center across the hall from the Simulation Lab. Both locations are open 24/7 but only staffed periodically, the best way to get ahold of the Librarian is via e-mail or on Microsoft Teams.
