Trinity Health Michigan has been named a 2023 “Frontline Healthcare Worker Champion”.

The healthcare provider was recognized by the National Fund for Workforce Solutions as a 2023 CareerSTAT “Frontline Healthcare Worker Champion” award winner.

The program recognizes organizations that create good jobs and build equitable workplaces by making significant investments in supporting frontline workers. The award is said to build on Trinity Health Michigan’s recognition by the National Fund for Workforce Solutions as an Emerging Champion in 2017.
