We, the frontline nurses of Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, have spent the last few years working tirelessly through a deadly global pandemic. We put ourselves and our families on the line and have proven our dedication to our patients and our community. We know exactly what is needed to improve staffing, retention, and overall care at our hospital to make it the hospital of choice in our region.
Nurses at GWV are united to win a strong union contract that will advance:
- Staffing and Retention -- so we can attract and retain experienced registered nurses to provide the best care at our hospital.
- Leading Wages for Nurses -- so we can keep nurses at the bedside and lead the market in NEPA to become the hospital of choice for our region.
- PTO and Sick Time -- so we will be able to care for ourselves and continue to operate at the highest levels for our patients.
- Respect for All Nurses -- so that we feel valued and empowered to effect change and make improvements to the delivery of care in our hospital.
We know that healthcare systems that invest in and respect their frontline staff are more successful and provide better care. We are calling on Geisinger to invest in us as we have invested in this hospital. We will remain united for our patients, our coworkers, and our community and commit ourselves to making the best healthcare facility in our region even better!
