NYSNA is calling on healthcare institutions across New York to join with us to ensure that every possible measure is taken to protect patients and caregivers from the spread of Ebola virus disease.

Hundreds of Capital Region NYSNA nurses rallied Wednesday in our communities for fair contracts that protect patient care at our first-ever, multi-facility picket at Ellis Medicine and Bellevue Woman’s Center in Schenectady, and Nathan Littauer Hospital in Gloversville.
