Tell LCMC Health CEO Greg Feirn to put patients first!

Make your voice heard

Dear LCMC CEO Greg Feirn,

As a member of the community, I am writing to express my support for the nurses who are organizing at UMC. When nurses have a collective voice, patients like me are protected. LCMC nurses and patients deserve:

• Safe staffing standards to provide us the kind of optimal, quality care nurses want to give and New Orleans patients deserve
• Comprehensive workplace violence prevention program to protect nurses and patients
• Nurse recruitment and retention protocols to address the chronic understaffing
• Transparency in medical billing and for UMC to stop all aggressive collections practices against its patients for medical debt, especially suing its patients in court or trying to ruin their credit
• An end to the recent campaign of intimidation against nurses who openly support the union
  
We urge the LCMC administration to respect the right of nurses to collectively bargain and advocate for their patients, without intimidation or threat of retaliation.

Our families, our neighbors, and our community all rely on LCMC nurses to advocate for us when we are sick, injured, and at our most vulnerable.

Nurses always have our backs, so we are stepping up to have theirs. Settle this contract now!

For years, UMC nurses and patients have fought for safe staffing, nurse recruitment, and affordable, accessible healthcare. Instead, CEO Greg Feirn and LCMC management have prioritized enriching executives, boosting profit margins, and undermining nurses’ collective bargaining rights. Despite LCMC’s claims to uphold Charity Hospital’s mission, it is clear LCMC has betrayed its legacy.
