Support Windsor Regional Hospital RNs!

Send your email now!

Registered nurses (RNs) have special skills that are crucial for patients with complex needs. Yet Windsor Regional Hospital is cutting 169 RNs to save money. That’s more than 300,000 hours of care, and 10 per cent of the RNs serving our community. In fact, RNs, save our system money in the long run by preventing patient complications and costly readmissions. Fewer RNs means an increased risk of complications including bedsores, sepsis, blood clots, pneumonia, cardiac arrest and even death. The hospital is struggling because funding has been frozen since 2012.
We shouldn’t be balancing the books at the expense of patients.
Please join our call to stop the cuts and ensure hospitals can continue to provide the care patients need.
