STATEMENT BY OPEIU LOCAL 40 PRESIDENT JEFF MORAWSKI, RN REGARDING MCLAREN MACOMB HOSPITAL’S FAILURE TO DISCLOSE SEVERAL CASES OF LEGIONNAIRES’ DISEASE

[Mt. Clemens, MI – Oct. 10, 2019] “OPEIU Local 40 RNs and healthcare workers are deeply concerned with the reports of several cases of Legionnaires’ disease at McLaren Macomb. What is even more troubling is this has been an ongoing issue since midsummer and our community, our patients, and our workers were never informed of this potential danger. Local 40 believes it’s the hospital’s responsibility and duty to all of its patients and employees to keep them safe and informed of any and all potential health hazards.”

About the ONC

The OPEIU Nurses Council (ONC) was established by OPEIU members who are nurses, giving them a means to participate in the resolution of issues affecting their nursing practice. The ONC helps foster a climate of professionalism within the nursing community, promoting best practices regarding patient care, safety concerns and compensation issues. The ONC advocates for legislation to improve working conditions and improve patient care, including measures that address nurse-to-patient ratios and violence against health care workers. Its primary goal is to advance the professional image of the nursing profession. 

If you are interested in starting a nurses council please email us at: info@opeiunursescouncil.org.
