Support the Nurses of Wilkes-Barre General Hospital,located in Wilkes-Barre,PA., and tell for-profit Community Health Systems to put Patients before profits!. When the Tennessee-based CHS took over Wilkes-Barre General Hospital,they promised they would respect the community and the dedicated nursing staff.Now,they are refusing to agree to safe nurse staffing levels and their proposals for health care would toss caring employees into the ranks of the under-insured. Nurses deserve to be treated with respect and recognized for their critical work on behalf of the community. We urge you to negotiate fairly with the nurses, to offer them quality health care for their families and to truly listen to their concerns for safe staffing and patient safety.

The stories shared by staff at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital reveal a persistent disregard for the individuals who serve our community. I am currently reaching out to local representatives to ensure they understand the impact of these staffing decisions on our patients. Your commitment to this cause provides the leverage necessary to challenge these administrative policies.

The momentum behind this petition highlights a significant commitment to the well-being of our local nurses and their patients. This public backing sends a clear message to Community Health Systems that the community expects fair negotiations and a genuine focus on patient safety.
