‘Michigan needs you’: Detroit’s professional sports teams call for health care volunteers

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer teamed up with the Detroit Lions, Pistons, Red Wings, and Tigers Saturday to release a call to action video encouraging nurses and doctors to bring their skills to Michigan as a way to volunteer and help bolster the number of health care professionals on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I am grateful for the health care professionals who are on the front lines of this pandemic every single day, but these brave men and women can’t do it alone,” Whitmer said. “That’s why we are asking nurses, doctors, and qualified health care professionals across the country to bring their expertise to our state to combat this virus. If we work together, we can slow the spread and save lives.”

Detroit’s professional sports teams joined forces to deliver a powerful message to fans across the state:

“If you’re a health care professional anywhere in America, Michigan needs you. Detroit needs you.”
