Healthcare Reform Can't Wait:

 4 SEIU Healthcare 1199NW members head to Washington DC to lobby for healthcare reform


 

Now is the time for healthcare reform, and SEIU Healthcare 1199NW is helping to lead the way. As frontline caregivers, we see the impact this crisis has on our hospitals, patients, communities and families everyday – and that’s why we know we can’t afford to wait.

Linda Arkava (RN, Swedish Medical Center), Levorn Glover (Unit Secretary, Highline Medical Center), Tara Lerew (RN, Harborview Medical Center), and Maikele Mengesha (CNA, Northwest Hospital) are headed to Washington DC this Thursday, June 25 as part of a national Lobby Day to meet with our Senators and Members of Congress to lobby for healthcare reform - watch our video about why we're going.

As nurses, professional, service, technical, and mental health workers, our elected leaders need to hear from us – we’ll be bringing stories from our hospitals about why we need healthcare reform NOW.

Do you have questions you want us to take with to Washington DC? A healthcare story you want to share? Email us, and we’ll take your emails with us.

We’ll share updates about our meetings and conversations with elected leaders in Washington DC.

Members of SEIU Healthcare 1199NW can stand united with us for healthcare reform by joining the sticker-up in our workplaces on Thursday.

Let’s take action to tell legislators that we need healthcare reform NOW.
