1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East
“The healthcare workers of 1199SEIU at Jordan Hospital will be closely monitoring the proposed acquisition as we continue to advocate for quality care and quality jobs for our community. The nearly 700 members of 1199SEIU working at Jordan Hospital are deeply rooted members of the Plymouth area community – and will be vigilant during this process as we encourage investments in patient services, the hospital, and its employees. It is vital that there is a transparent process while the community assesses whether or not the proposed acquisition will bolster the security of healthcare services for the Plymouth area.” - Jerry Fishbein, Vice President, 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East
