60 years ago today, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law, enacting critical programs that provide millions of Americans with access to affordable healthcare and moving the country one step closer to recognizing healthcare as a human right. As the federal government moves to cut these life-saving programs, it's more critical than ever to speak out and protect the health and dignity of all!

Shout-out to our union siblings at 32BJ SEIU who have been fighting to keep hospitals affordable!

Thanks to their organizing efforts, they are pulling back the curtain on NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital efforts to drastically inflate hospital prices with insurance companies and stifle competition. No one should ever have to forgo the care they need at a hospital because they can’t afford it.

The Justice Department scrutiny of one of New York’s leading health systems could lead to more spirited competition among hospitals — and slow rising prices.

While NYC Health + Hospitals management puts on a show to pursue the Pathway to Excellence designation by ANCC Certification, nurses are calling on management to reverse changes to their sick leave policy.

Nurses know there can't be a pathway to excellence when nurses are pressured to work while sick! That's why nurses throughout the hospital system wore buttons to remind management: "There is no pathway to excellence without nurses!"

Truth is that there is no nursing shortage. Just a shortage of nurses willing to work in unsafe working conditions set by the hospital industry. That’s why union nurses fight for safe staffing in every unit, and on every shift.

Effective today, the Trump administration has shut down the 988 Lifeline’s LGBTQIA+ specialized services program — cutting off trained and specialized support. While this is an unconscionable attack on our LGBTQIA+ patients, nurses will continue to care for All New Yorkers and stand up against any more threats to vulnerable communities.

Although the LGBTQIA+ service option is no longer available, 988 continues to operate as a resource for everyone. We encourage anyone in crisis to reach out to 988 for help. Learn more below:

Mount Sinai South Nassau nurses marched on the boss to CNO Stacey Conklin's office to demand having negotiations onsite at the hospital or by adding a Zoom/Teams option! CNO Conkin did not come out to meet with members. Instead, nurses were met by the HR VP who refused nurses' demands to make negotiations accessible to all members.

Enough is enough! Management should listen to the nurses!

The series follows identical twins who changed their diets and lifestyles to explore how certain changes impact the body. Congrats!
