Many of the doors on Corewell Health West nursing units have badge access card readers. Students and instructors may be issued a badge/access card (blank) through security for accessing doors for their clinical rotations.
Students and instructors who are Corewell Health team members and already have an employee badge may use this as their key for badge access doors.
Students and instructors who are not Corewell Health team members can obtain a blank badge/access card through Corewell Health West secuity.
Instructors should send a list of students/instructors needing badges to security at FACsecurityadministrationservices@corewellhealth.org (or to Josh Meringa, who will forward to security) at least a few days before needing access. If badge numbers are available for existing cards that need to be reactivated, include badge ID numbers with this list. Students/instructors should not present to security without prior notice to request badges be issued.
Blodgett and Butterworth/Medical Center security offices have been consolidated at Butterworth.
