The University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) is a premier, highly ranked academic medical center and award-winning health care system.

In 2011, U.S. News and World Report ranked the U-M Hospitals and Health Centers among America’s Best Hospitals for the 17th year in a row. U-M is the only hospital in Michigan ranked among the 14 institutions on the national honor roll, which signifies all-around excellence in multiple areas of specialized medical care. U-M was also ranked No. 1 in the Detroit metropolitan area.
Earlier in 2011, U.S. News ranked U-M Medical School 10th among the best research-oriented medical schools. The Medical School also ranked 9th among medical schools in 2010 for the total dollars its researchers earned from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
