Nurses at Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie have been fighting for a new three-year contract. On August 12, nurses finally won and ratified a new contract that helps recruit and retain nurses.
On Feb. 2, 2022, hundreds of NYSNA nurses at Westchester Medical Center lined the road in front of the hospital to speak out against deteriorating conditions. They highlighted unsafe staffing and patient care conditions and called for a fair contract to attract and retain experienced nurses.
The votes were counted and reported out at 9:30 pm — after two long days of voting and an even longer road to get to this point for the nurses at Albany Medical Center.
Vassar Brothers Medical Center nurses are demanding its hospital to put patients over profits.Today, we are sounding the alarm. Health Quest’s $2.4B merger resulting in Nuvance Health completely disregards the needs of patients and nurses.
