CEO Adam Spiegel Adam Spiegel, CEO of the controversial outsourcing firm linked to the recent colonoscopy patient death at Beaumont Royal Oak, is fast learning that payback’s a bitch – especially when dished out by the hospital’s tough-as-nails nurse anesthetists. Spiegel last summer thought he hit pay dirt when his low-cost NorthStar outfit landed a contract to handle all the anesthesia procedures at Beaumont Health’s flagship Royal Oak hospital, as well as its facilities in Troy and Grosse Pointe, beginning January 1. Beaumont Royal Oak is one of the busiest hospitals in the country, performing well over 200 surgeries a day.

By Eric Starkman Beaumont Royal Oak Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), who play a critical role in the flagship hospital’s lucrative surgical business, have overwhelmingly supported a union drive to combat what they warn are “unsafe” staffing conditions. More than 90 percent of the CRNAs at Royal Oak, along with their colleagues at Beaumont’s Troy and Grosse Pointe hospitals, voted last month in favor of holding a union authorization vote slated to take place later this month. In a major slap in the face to the Michigan Nurses Association, the CRNAs plan to form their own union, which will be known as the Southeastern Michigan CRNAs & Associates (SEMCA).
