Spectrum Health

After telling BHSH System staff Friday that the health system would restrict abortions to cases where it's deemed "necessary to preserve the life of the woman," BHSH CEO Tina Freese Decker reversed course Saturday night.

At Spectrum Health in West Michigan, frontline health staff have been kicked, punched, spit on and yelled at. The aggression hasn't gone down along with COVID cases.

The planned merger of Beaumont and Spectrum Health has cleared federal oversight. The new hospital system will include 22 hospitals, 64,000 employees and hundreds of outpatient locations.

Michigan hospitals saw record numbers of COVID patients in December. Now, the numbers are up again, and more staff are getting sick.

The state sets another record for the average daily number of new cases of COVID-19. Hospitalizations also rise again statewide, but not as rapidly.

Spectrum Health is limiting visitors to patients at its clinics and hospitals due to a COVID-19 surge in West Michigan

Spectrum Health, West Michigan’s largest health system, announced to its employees Thursday that it was moving to “red status," after the Grand Rapids-based health system once again set a record for the number of COVID-19 patients in its hospitals.

This week, Michigan’s COVID infection numbers exploded into a fourth surge that has worried doctors, overwhelmed hospital systems and left the rest of us asking what could be next. We talk to Dr. Preeti Malani, chief health officer at the University of Michigan and Michigan Radio's Dustin Dwyer about the state's current COVID surge.

The fourth surge in Michigan continues to pick up steam, as West Michigan’s largest hospital system hits a new record for COVID patients. But many health systems are already at capacity just caring for the non-COVID patients.

Spectrum Health hospitals are nearly full with high numbers of non-COVID patients while the number of COVID patients steadily rises.
