We've seen first hand how private equity damages hospitals and patient care. It's time to kick private equity OUT of our health systems for good!

Under Independence Health, resource cuts have become the norm, staff are leaving faster than they can be replaced, and the pressure on those of us who remain grows by the day. Healthcare workers deserve better, and our patients deserve better.

Every patient deserves enough nurses at the bedside—safe nurse-to-patient ratios save lives and protect both patients and caregivers. SOLIDARITY ❤️ 🩺 💪 to the SEIU Healthcare PA Nurses fighting for safe staffing ratios at UPMC!

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...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 🎉 🥂 2025 was a year of many challenges for healthcare and there will certainly be more to come. In 2026 we will continue to fight for the future of our health systems, access to care, and the safety and well-being of our patients.

This holiday season, we honor the dedication, compassion, and strength of nurses and healthcare professionals across Pennsylvania. Wishing you and your loved ones peace, rest, and a wonderful holiday season.

"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.

It's not too late for our elected leaders to stop this disaster from happening. Read more here: www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Today, our own Maureen May, nurse of over 40 years and President of PASNAP, testified before the Comunications & Technology Committee to warn about the potential dangers of unregulated AI in our health systems. Pass HB 1925!

Today our elected officials have the opportunity to vote to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, and protect access to healthcare. Read our press release and watch our full press conference: www.pasnap.com/news/pasnap-...

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 “professional degree” program for loan eligibility is insulting, short-sighted, and harmful—to the profession of nursing, to the workforce pipeline, and ultimately to safe patient care. #nursesAREprofessionals

Today we give thanks for every nurse and health professional who shows up with skill, compassion, and strength in the commitment to safe patient care. Wishing all our members and communities a peaceful, restorative holiday 🧡

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.

Nurses at Butler Memorial Hospital are fighting for common-sense protections from increasing workplace violence and to stop management from gutting their contract. Respect and protect Butler Memorial Nurses! #respectandprotectnurses #patientsoverprofits
