Michigan nurses trade in their scrubs for hard hats
Mercy General Health Partners in Muskegon, MI, recently merged with Hackley Hospital to form Mercy Health Partners—becoming the largest Muskegon employer with more than 4,400 employees.  “The merger has been monumental to the community,” says Kathy Breunsbach RN, special projects coordinator at Mercy Health Partners, “as each of the four campuses has been serving the same community separately and competitively for over 100 years. We are stronger as one to our community.”
