NY nurses picket Gov. Pataki

Published Dec 14, 2006 7:44 PM

Nurses and other health care workers, many from Cabrini Medical Center, rallied outside New York Gov. George Pataki’s Manhattan office Dec. 5 to demand he stop the hospital closings around the state recently proposed by the Berger Commission. “Save our health care network, save Cabrini Medical Center, reject the Berger Commission report,” they said. The New York State Nurses Association coordinated the rally with other health care workers and supporters. This rally was one of a series of actions and protests around the state planned for December.
