Library Card


Library Card

You are eligible for a library card if you work at Synergy Medical Education Alliance (including Medical Students), Covenant Healthcare or St. Mary’s of Michigan, or if you are a physician with hospital privileges at Covenant or St. Mary’s.

The library card allows you to check out materials from the library, as well as obtain access to subscription resources on our website when you are outside of Synergy Medical or either of the hospitals.

To obtain a library card, stop by either location to complete an application. 
Please allow 2-3 business days for the application to be processed.

History

The Synergy Medical Library was formed in 1978 when the libraries of St. Luke's Hospital and Saginaw General Hospital (now Covenant HealthCare) and St. Mary's of Michigan merged and became part of Saginaw Cooperative Hospitals (now Synergy Medical Education Alliance).
