By KAREN VELIE Averting a strike, approximately 400 healthcare workers at Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center in San Luis Obispo and Twin Cities
Averting a strike, approximately 400 healthcare workers at Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center in San Luis Obispo and Twin Cities Community Hospital in Templeton reached an agreement with Adventist this week.
“This agreement ensures that we can provide the quality care our patients deserve while demonstrating that Adventist Health values our contributions and recognizes the challenges we face,” said Chris Ferreira, an emergency room tech at Twin Cities Community Hospital. “Addressing understaffing is crucial to delivering exceptional care, and this contract signals a new day for frontline healthcare workers and patient safety alike.
In July, healthcare workers picketed outside Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center and Twin Cities Community Hospital to protest understaffing, low wages, and rising healthcare costs. Workers were concerned that increased healthcare costs would further exacerbate understaffing, putting patients and staff at risk.
