OPBA UC Health agrees with ONA and stands in solidarity.
Ohio’s nurses and health professionals are DONE being ignored and disrespected.
We are facing a full-blown patient care crisis—understaffing, workplace violence, and now a federal budget that targets the very people who keep our communities alive.
The proposed budget guts critical funding for nursing education, workforce development, and the public-health agencies that protect every Ohioan. This isn’t just bad policy—it’s an attack on patient care.
We’re calling on Senators Husted and Moreno to stand with nurses and health professionals and STOP these cuts before they devastate care across Ohio.
We need:
✔️ Full funding for nursing workforce programs
✔️ Restoration of the National Institute of Nursing Research
✔️ Protection of Medicaid
✔️ Investment in clinical training, education, and mental-health programs
✔️ Support for the providers keeping our communities safe
Nurses and health professionals are fighters, and we will not back down. Our patients, our professions, and our communities are worth protecting.
It’s time for our leaders to do the same.
