GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WJRT) – As the number of COVID-19 related hospitalizations reaches nearly 3,000 in Michigan, nurses from Ascension Genesys hospital in Grand Blanc Township are feeling taken for granted.
The nurses from Teamsters Local 332 are feeling exhausted, underappreciated and unsafe.
“People are working 16-hour shifts and they’re doing it days in a row,” said nurse Kelly Rivera-Craine, who is a union steward at the hospital.
Tuesday evening the steward said there were roughly 80 COVID-19 patients being cared for at Genesys.
