Congrats, The Brooklyn Hospital Center NYSNA nurses! After weeks of advocacy, the hospital has finally made the necessary payments to secure our pension benefits, in addition to our health benefits! Many thanks to the elected officials who advocated with nurses for the hospital to do the right thing and prioritize its frontline nurses. NYSNA nurses will continue to advocate for hospital executives to follow through on their commitments and prioritize the workers who care for Brooklyn!

Safety net hospitals serve New York's most vulnerable communities, and federal cuts to healthcare funding will only make that task more difficult.

Yesterday, NYSNA Board Member Sonia Lawrence, BSN, RN, spoke outside NYC Health+Hospitals/Lincoln alongside labor and elected allies to demand Albany lawmakers use funding to fill in federal funding gaps in the Essential Plan.

With nearly half a million New Yorkers at risk of losing Essential Plan coverage this summer, we must take action to protect our communities and ensure all patients get the care they deserve.

NYSNA nurses at Northwell/SIUH took action this week to tell Northwell," Nurses will not tolerate short staffing or unjust discipline!"

After two senior RNs were unjustly terminated, members organized, gathered over 600 petition signatures, and marched on the boss to demand their reinstatement.

When SIUH understaffs and scapegoats nurses, ​NYSNA nurses are united and will not back down!

Trump’s healthcare cuts are threatening to close rural and safety-net hospitals. Albany should fight for fair hospital funding and reject the Hospital At Home scheme in the state budget. Hospital At Home may benefit hospitals’ bottom line, but it leaves patients Home All Alone and could lead to more hospital closures in New York state.

Unions including Committee of Interns and Residents and NYSNA are calling on NYC Health + Hospitals to honor its commitment to protect union contracts as it moves to take over Maimonides Medical Center.

Workers should never have to choose between protecting immigrant colleagues and preserving hard-won pay, benefits, and workplace protections. H+H must keep its promise to protect workers and protect patient care!
