Saving St. Lukes from Sutter: the "Beyond Medicine, Beyond Belief" SystemNancy Lewis, R.N.byline‚ Dec. 03‚ 2007Last Friday afternoon, 5500 CNA/NNOC nurses of Sutter Health, the "Beyond Medicine" system, decided to strike the system again. On December 13th and 14th, Registered Nurses will hit the streets outside all 13 Sutter facilities in solidarity with each other, their lack of a decent contract and the closure of three of their sister facilities. One of those facilities is St. Luke's, where thousands of low-income patients will lose access to this great, acute care hospital. |
