At the bedside, we’re already seeing too many patients delay crucial care because they’re worried about affordability. Delayed care can mean patients arrive sicker, in crisis, placing additional strain on our already-stretched health care system. #affordablecareforNEPA

Healthcare workers deserve a safe place to give our patients the quality care they deserve. Go to endhealthcareviolence.com/ to tell your Senator to pass HB926 (the Healthcare Workplace Violence Prevention Act) #stopthesilenceonworkplaceviolence #workplaceviolence

When nurses, techs and pros stand together, we have the power to advocate quality care our patients deserve. #IAmTheUnion #unionstrong #patientsoverprofits #nurses #healthcareworkers

When nurses, techs, and pros have a seat at the table, we can protect quality care with safe staffing ratios and working conditions, ensure caregivers are treated with respect, and keep profit from coming before our patients. Without one, we have no say. #IAmTheUnion

All that nurses want for #nursesweek is for our health systems to prioritize patients over profits. That means investing in safe nurse-to-patient ratios, safe environments for care, and access to critical services — BEFORE investing in raises for the C-suite.

PASNAP @pennanurses.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
Because PA nurses stand united, we are closer to: ✔️safe staff-to-patient ratios state-wide ✔️common-sense protections for healthcare workers from violence ✔️making sure A.I. is used responsibly in our hospitals ✔️ keeping for-profit interests OUT of our healthcare system

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.

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...

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.

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

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.
