Benefits update

Your leadership team is still in discussion about the proposed changes to nurses’ healthcare benefits and cost of premiums. It has come to our attention that leadership has indicated WSNA is “holding up” the implementation of benefit changes. Please note this is flagrantly not true. Leadership is in discussion with multiple unions about this issue as the effects of this change will be felt throughout the hospital and ALL have concerns. We are currently looking at a date to meet with management and work through this discussion.

Our goal is to maintain the best possible healthcare coverage for our nurses and their families. We will provide you with updates but feel free to reach out to any of your officers with concerns or questions or email your nurse representative Sue Dunlap at sdunlap@wsna.org and we will continue to advocate for you.
