The UMMS COVID-19 Response site allows clinical staff across UMMS to access essential COVID policies, guidelines and resources from any device whether it's on or off the UMMS network.

The site is available to anyone with an Active Directory login for any of our clinical or business systems, including Epic/MyPortfolio.

Note that this COVID-19 Response site is an exact replica of the intra.umms.org/covid section of the UMMS Insider that you’ve been referencing throughout this pandemic. That Insider site will continue to be available for all computers connected to the UMMS network. This new site will be most useful for devices that are not connected to the UMMS network.
