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.”
