The Healthcare Education Project mourns the passing of George Gresham, the former president of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, who died on Friday morning after a long illness.

President Gresham was a champion for healthcare justice, dedicated to expanding access to affordable care in underserved communities and strengthening the healthcare system for all. As union president, he fought cuts to New York's hospitals and nursing homes, and to the programs that are essential to reducing healthcare disparities, such as Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.

His work was grounded in the belief that access to healthcare is a civil rights issue. The Healthcare Education Project is grateful for his leadership and compassion, and his commitment to social justice.
