ONA Condemns President Trump's False Statements on Acetaminophen and Pregnancy - Oregon Nurses Association The Oregon Nurses Association

Oregon caregivers & hospital staff have released a statement condemning Trump's decision to deploy troops in Portland: "Our communities and our healthcare system need investment, not violence and intimidation." @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social @ofnhp.bsky.social www.oregonrn.org/page/stmt_tr...

The healthcare system depends on APPs to keep communities safe, healthy and strong. 🏥

Unfortunately, such false statements have become commonplace in this administration’s ongoing efforts to politicize health care and dismantle our nation’s public health infrastructure.

ONA condemns President Trump’s recent statements advising pregnant women to “avoid Tylenol at all costs” and proposing FDA warning labels against acetaminophen use in pregnancy. These claims lack scientific support and risk undermining trust in evidence-based care.

Thank you to the AFT paraprofessionals, healthcare heroes, and union leaders in Oregon who came out tonight. Your support, and your work every day, make all the difference. @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social @ofnhp.bsky.social

Tell Rep. Bentz: No Cuts to Medicaid Click here to email Rep. Bentz and tell him to vote NO on Medicaid cuts

The controversial bill does nothing to improve healthcare or bring down costs, but it could force hospitals to close & nurse layoffs in rural communities. Email Rep. Cliff Bentz and tell him to reject reckless Medicaid cuts: secure.everyaction.com/dc8mg4hVT0-U...

Medicaid is healthcare for 1 in 3 Oregonians. But Congressman Cliff Bentz is supporting a rushed and reckless plan to terminate coverage for thousands of his constituents – all to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

Today on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army we honor our fellow Americans that dedicated their lives to protect our country.
For as long as we have had a military we’ve had nurses and other healthcare professionals serving on the frontline. We honor their skill, bravery, and dedication. #flagday

@oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social nurses, pros, and techs at Legacy have been bargaining with the healthcare giant for over a year.

Legacy is slow walking these negotiations, and it’s costing workers and patients.

Portland’s largest public health provider is bracing for large cuts; it could have lasting consequences Multnomah County's Health Department will likely take an over 8.6% reduction in the next fiscal year.

Cutting Multnomah County’s public health programs will destroy our safety net, endanger our community's most vulnerable residents and increase costs and health risks for nearly every member of our community.

We urge policymakers to prioritize the patients' lives, health, and autonomy by safeguarding access to comprehensive reproductive services and ensuring that healthcare providers can deliver care without fear of legal jeopardy. (3/3)

We stand firmly against policies that compromise nurses' ethical and professional obligations to provide compassionate, evidence-based care, which can lead to life-threatening outcomes. (2/3)

Recently nurses associations across the country came together express profound concern over the Trump Administration’s recent rollback of federal guidance mandating hospitals to provide emergency abortion care under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). (1/3)

RALLY @ SHS HQ TUESDAY, MAY 27 4-6PN 815 NW 9 ST. CORVALLIS Samaritan Health Services executives are threatening to close birth centers and emergency surgery in hospitals that serve rural communities, and they refuse to reach fair contracts with their nurses. These decisions are dangerous for our communities. Because Samaritan hasn't responded meaningfully to demands to save critical services or to provide fair contracts to nurses, we're bringing our message straight to corporate headquarters! We won't settle for less than the hospitals our communities deserve. We must protect access to services and create the working conditions that will retain and recruit the nurses our communities deserve.

If I have any Oregon mutuals, I’ll be speaking at this rally tomorrow and would encourage everyone to attend if possible. I’m proud to be a @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social RN and proud to be a chairperson for my union. We can’t let them close the birthing centers.

Republicans passed huge Medicaid cuts & now our members + their patients are paying the price. PeaceHealth just laid off dozens of health professionals, directly blaming federal cuts. This is what happens when politicians put tax breaks for the wealthy over care for families.

ADD YOUR NAME: Don’t hurt families receiving Medicaid and SNAP to give tax cuts to billionaires! actionnetwork.org/letters/reco...

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

We represent unions that have workers in every industry in every corner of the state. It’s this strength that we must draw on for the fights ahead. We are proud to back Legacy hospitalists and NW Medicine United
@aft.org @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social in their fight for a fair contract.

14 million Americans will lose health coverage if the GOP passes this bill. #AmericansNeedMedicaid

Congress wants to gut Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires in the middle of the night. Unlike most members of Congress, this isn't the first night shift for healthcare union leaders. We're watching. We'll continue to fight for our patients. We know #AmericansNeedMedicaid

Without Medicaid many rural hospitals will close. We owe it to rural communities to reject Medicaid cuts. #AmericansNeedMedicaid

The Oregon Nurses Association is excited to be a part of Bluesky! We hope that through this platform we can continue to connect with our members, healthcare professionals, and unionists to improve healthcare and worker rights in our communities.
