While Butler Memorial Hospital techs work day in and day out, dangerously short-staffed, on behalf of the Butler patient community, Independence has worked against the very people the system relies on to provide excellent care. SHAME on Independence! Read more www.butlereagle.com/20260307/but...

When profit-driven interests infiltrate our healthcare system, the quality of care suffers, and our system fails our most vulnerable patients and communities. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision reminds us that progress demands courage and collective action.

"First, tens of thousands of people across Pennsylvania will lose coverage. Thousands already have. When people lose insurance, they don’t magically stop getting sick. They delay care. They skip medications. They hope problems will resolve on their own." www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

AI regulation bill gets notes in Pennsylvania (The Center Square) - The health care field agrees: artificial intelligence is already an integral tool being used every day in the industry.

AI in healthcare is happening right now. As regulation of this technology moves forward, we must make sure it serves the needs of our patients and support the work of our caregivers BEFORE serving anyone's bottom line.

If our elected officials allow the ACA Enhanced Premium Tax Credits to expire, it will be a DISASTER for our health systems, especially for our patients in our rural areas. Tell your Congress member to protect access to healthcare: bit.ly/protect-our-...

Excluding nursing from the federal definition of a β€œprofessional degree” program for loan eligibility is insulting, short-sighted, and harmfulβ€”to the profession of nursing, to the workforce pipeline, and ultimately to safe patient care. #nursesAREprofessionals

Tower Health wants to downsize at our patients' expense by cutting critical services – including the ICU and Cancer Center– at Pottstown Hospital. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

People all across Pennsylvania are seeing their premiums skyrocket.

This is our last chance to save affordable health care for thousands of our neighbors. We can't afford to let it pass.

I'm calling on Senators Fetterman & McCormick to stand up for working people and say NO.

Last night an agreement was reached that will keep Crozer health open "for the immediate future". We're thrilled a deal was reached, but we need a long term solution for our health system & accountability for the corporate grifters bled it dry!
