Hospital violence against health care workers reaches alarming levels in Palm Beach County, Treasure Coast More than 1,200 assaults have occurred at 16 hospitals across the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast over the past five years, with many targeting hospital staff members.

Violence against healthcare workers is alarming. As advocates for workers and patients, we continue to push for protections for healthcare workers. One solution is safe staffing. Former healthcare worker & 1199SEIU organizer Bhishma Ramdass, who is quoted in this news story, explains. @1199seiu.org

"They cut Medicaid, the program that pays nursing home patients. They threaten immigrant workers with ICE raids ... without immigrant caregivers, without Medicaid, who would care for our sick? Together with our union, we're saying families first."- Tamika Jones, healthcare worker. #SolidaritySeason

Tenet hospital workers in PBC distributed flyers to let the public know that hospitals like St. Mary’s Medical Center should be built on care, not corporate greed – a 33% raise for Tenet’s CEO while some staff earn less than fast food workers. It’s time for #TenetHealthcare to invest in care.

Nursing homes struggle with Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown Elderly care facilities are quickly losing employees due to new immigration policies.

Draconian anti-immigrant policies don't just hurt families, they also impact our jobs, patient care and the economy. For more, check out this article.
