The time has come again for our Professional Employee Council as Sparrow Hospital - PECSH elections. This next cycle of elected positions is an important one. Please take the time to either consider putting your name forward or encouraging other strong leaders to step up for one of the openings.
At the end of last year, Sparrow executives made the devastating decision to reduce the IV Specialty Department and eliminate the Critical Care Transport Team. Members of PECSH-MNA courageously spoke out in the media and made the six o'clock news to highlight the dangers behind prioritizing the
bottom-line over patient care.
