Slotkin says she wanted to see first-hand what the staff is going through, but also to "advocate with the community for vaccinations, for doing your part so you don't end up in the ICU so that your hospital that you care about can be used for other things like kidney stones and heart surgeries. All these things are being canceled now because they're oversubscribed." Slotkin also said the visit was to "advocate that we get federal dollars unstuck from the Michigan Legislature. Federal dollars we approved last March that could be going to our hospitals, who are just really, really strapped right now."
