Change in Officers

We would like to send a huge shout out to Ashley Eubank who served as one of our WSNA grievance officers and was the co-chair for the Hospital Staffing Committee.  She served on the most recent Negotiating Team and has been a strong advocate for nurses at Good Samaritan. She will remain in Pulse Interventional Radiology as a Clinical Assistant Nurse Manager.

The officer team appointed Atalia Lapkin to fill the vacant grievance officer position. Atalia has been a WSNA unit rep in the Medical/Surgical ICU. She was on the Negotiating Team and serves on the Hospital Staffing Committee.
