Laura Appel speaks with NBC25 about the Baxter IV solutions shortage.
The MHA continued to engage with media requests on the Baxter IV solutions shortage during the week of Oct. 14.
NBC25/Fox66 in Flint aired a story Oct. 16 on the shortage, which includes an interview with MHA Executive Vice President Laura Appel. She spoke to the current situation regarding reduced allocations from Baxter to hospitals and how hospitals are managing the shortage.
“Hospitals that use their services would get a smaller allocation than usual,” said Appel. “Many organizations sent out information on how to conserve solutions, how to use less of them all altogether and how to use them differently.”
Michigan Public also published a story Oct. 17 on the topic. The reporting includes sourcing to the MHA and quotes from an association spokesperson.
Members with any questions regarding media requests should contact John Karasinski at the MHA.
