Your question prompted me to do a little research, and as far as I can tell,  Michigan doesn't require hospital-specific reporting of infections.  On the consumer's union website there is a link to states where there are currently bills under consideration to require it, but again, Michigan isn't one of them.

However, I can pretty-much guarantee ALL hospitals have it to one degree or another.  When my mom had it, we were told that most everyone has MRSA on their skin and it isn't an issue, but when there are open wounds, and a compromised immune system then it becomes a problem.  I think, like the RN who posted earlier stated,  that we need to be aware, and we must demand excellence in care!
