Nurses Nationwide Back Appalachian RNs

SEIU Healthcare nurses from New York, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Tennessee, and Washington State mobilized in Lexington, Kentucky Thursday to join Appalachian nurses who are taking a stand for quality patient care.

Nurses at nine hospitals in Kentucky and West Virginia at the Appalachian Regional Healthcare system have been on strike since Oct. 1 to protect their voice on staffing and patient care.

SEIU nurses, members of other nursing organizations, and other union families congratulated ARH nurses and bolstered them with over $40,000 in contributions to help nurses maintain their fight for quality care for their communities.
