Our nurses
More than one–quarter of UM Health-Sparrow’s 8,400 team members are nurses. They are the heart and soul of UM Health-Sparrow’s commitment to quality, compassionate care.
While every single team member drives our mission of improving the health of the people in the Mid-Michigan region, nurses are the most visible example of our dedication to delivering the very best experience to everyone we serve, every time.
