Take Action Advocates! Help Nurses Win a Fair Contract and Protect Local Healthcare on July 8 and 23
Join your neighbors and local nurses at two upcoming rallies in Corvallis and Lebanon. Together, we can protect vital services and stand up for quality healthcare in our community.
Rally #1: Tuesday, July 8, 1 – 3 p.m, Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center - 3600 NW Samaritan Dr., Corvallis, OR 97330
Nurses are fighting for a fair contract that ensures:
Safe Staffing and Workplaces
Fair Wages
Affordable Healthcare
A stronger voice to improve local healthcare and prevent cuts and layoffs
Your local nurses believe our community deserves access to affordable, high-quality healthcare close to home. That starts with a fair contract from Samaritan Health Services that enables us to recruit and retain the caregivers our community relies on. Nurses’ contract at Good Samaritan in Corvallis and Samaritan Lebanon hospitals expired in June. Join us for a rally and informational picket s we work towards a fair contract that enables us to care for everyone in our community.
Rally #2: Save Our Birth Centers and Emergency Surgery Teams Wednesday, July 23 4 – 6 p.m., Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital - 525 N. Santiam Hwy., Lebanon, OR 97355
Samaritan Health Service executives are still considering closing our local birth centers and eliminating emergency surgery teams at Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital and Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. These cuts will force laboring mothers to make longer drives for care and impact emergency services for everyone in our community. We must take action to ensure current and future families have access to safe and stable healthcare. Join to demand Samaritan executives fulfill their nonprofit hospital mission and continue caring for our community!
WATCH: Oregon fights back against corporate control of health care
The Young Turks cover Oregon’s bill SB 951, recently passed into law, that enacts the nation’s strictest limits on corporate control of health care!
Health care for all Oregon
Drug prices are off the charts. Premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket fees are bankrupting Americans. To top it off, our health outcomes, on average, are worse than many other developed countries.
Publicly funded universal health care:
• Lowers health care costs
• Delivers high-quality care to all
• Builds healthier communities
Let’s be advocates for universal health care!
