Support MNA's- Safe Patient Care Act

HOA urges its members to sign a petition supporting the Safe Patient Care Act

The University of Michigan House Officers Association (HOA) supports the Safe Patient Care Act that our sibling union, the University of Michigan Professional Nurses Council (UMPNC-MNA) are attempting to get enshrined in Michigan law.

The proposed bill would ensure safe RN staffing levels and require hospitals to publish their RN-to-patient staffing ratios. It would also limit the use of mandatory overtime for RNs, ensuring safe patient care.

The HOA supports our fellow union in this endeavor and urge our members to sign a petition supporting the bill.
