Nurses at Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital plan to rally against upcoming layoffs and service reductions. They are protesting the dismissal of seven nurses and proposed cuts to the Ambulatory Treatment Center's hours. Nurses argue these changes will negatively impact patient access and care quality. They specifically cite concerns for patients needing time-sensitive treatments and for labor and delivery emergencies. The nurses are urging CommonSpirit to reverse these decisions.
