UWMC (598-) pagers – You can send alpha messages to UWMC pagers via the following email address: 598XXXX@pager.uwmc.washington.edu, where XXXX equals the last 4 digits of your pager number.

Sani-Cloth: It has been determined that increased failure rates in Spectralink phones have been caused by use of the Sani-Cloth Plus germicidal disposable cloth. Due to high water content, the Sani-Cloth product should not be used to clean Spectralink phones. These phones can be cleaned by using a damp cloth or alcohol wipe.

New Poison Control number: The Poison Control Center has a new toll-free number (1-800-222-1222). While the local (206) number will continue to work, the new number can be used anytime and anywhere without accruing long-distance charges.

Access Guide for Persons with Disabilities: The University of Washington's access guide provides information, building by building, regarding entrances, elevators, and parking on the Seattle campus.
