This #HAVHope Day, we're grateful for the voices across #MIHospitals who are working alongside our teams to advocate for workplace safety. Earlier this week, Carrie Mull, a registered nurse of over 30 years (@TrinityHealthMI), provided testimony on legislation aimed at addressing workplace violence in healthcare settings.

Violence against healthcare workers is unacceptable. We must continue to speak out and ensure protections are in place for those who care for us when we need it most.
