“Recent events have led to a lot of us discussing the future of healthcare in New York State and the best way for nurses to stand up for our patients and for ourselves. We’ve seen a lot of changes, some of which have been detrimental to patient care and damaging to our profession. The future of healthcare should be decided by all the stakeholders — including the community and their caregivers.”

“That’s why I’m so proud to be here today with so many great nurses and caregivers — to do just that… I’m standing up for my patients and for our rights!”

– Jalisa Saud, RN, Elmhurst Hospital in Queens
