Show Notes
On this episode of Talk of the Bay host PK Hattis is joined by nurses from Dominican Hospital who staged a picket last week in protest of chronic staffing shortages and a lack of investment from hospital ownership Dignity Health and parent company CommonSpirit Health. Nurses say the lack of staffing has led to extended wait times for patients and increasing levels of burnout among the staff, both of which, ultimately, lead to subpar care.
We’ll hear about what conditions are like on the ground and what the nurses’ union is asking of ownership to improve the situation.
