Proud to officially expand the No One Dies Alone (NODA) program at Michigan Medicine as an extension of the M-Response Corps. Medical student volunteers will be trained to sit vigil with patients at end of life who are isolated from family by COVID visitor restrictions. #GoBlue

COVID-19 patients & loved ones deserve innovative, compassionate solutions when in-person goodbyes aren’t possible. Glenn Wakam discussed his experiences on CNN 📽️ (More: labblog.uofmhealth.org/lab-notes/dyin…)

What happens when a plastic surgeon, a vascular surgeon, a bunch of transplant surgeons, and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon work together to run a COVID ICU? #GoBlue Michigan Surgery

COVID+ patients at end of life are often unable to see or hear loved ones as they pass. The M-Response Corps No One Dies Alone initiative is working to procure tablets and stands to facilitate end of life interactions for these patients and their families. #GoBlue #Covid_19

Exactly what the No One Dies Alone program through M-Response Corps is trying to accomplish. Using Medical student volunteers, video conferencing technology, and tablets, we hope to start providing these valuable opportunities for patients and families to say goodbye.

Started training our first volunteers for the M-Response Corps NODA initiative! These volunteers will start providing end of life companionship to non-COVID patients. Meanwhile, we are developing methods to safely use technology and quickly expand this service to COVID+ patients.

Our first wave of student volunteers has entered the hospital to provide companionship for isolated patients at end of life. I want to thank everyone involved who is giving their time and efforts to these patients in need! M-Response Corps Michigan Medicine #NoOneDiesAlone #GoBlue

Awarded grant funding to purchase tablets for the NODA initiative! In the coming weeks, these tablets, along with tech from the Michigan Medicine Office of Patient Experience, will be deployed to help end of life COVID patients video chat with family. @klbalz #NoOneDiesAlone

Great work completed by my classmates to help support hospitals and pateints during the COVID pandemic!
