For the staff at Metro Health-University of Michigan Health, âGo Blueâ is more than a sports cheer. Itâs also a phrase they use to remind colleagues to wash their hands, a vital practice for health care safety and quality.
âItâs a good phrase for us, as a Michigan institution,â said Dr. Ronald Grifka, chief medical officer. âItâs also just a gentle reminder that weâre working as a team and weâre going to help each other to get better as a team.â
Getting better as a team is a constant at Metro Health, the only Grand Rapids-area hospital to earn an âAâ rating in the Leapfrog Groupâs most recent Hospital Safety Grade.
