Who are committed to protecting the health and well-being of our neighbors.

Delivering world class care to our Central Coast community.
1 UNION
Run by nurses to win a stronger voice at the bedside and the bargaining table.
WHY nurses are ORGANIZING
We love our patients and take pride in the care we provide. But too often, decisions that affect our working lives and patient care are made without meaningful input from the nurses doing the work.
A meaningful voice in care
Bedside nurses know what our patients need. We want a real say in staffing, workloads, policies, and decisions that shape the care we deliver.

High living costs and changes to compensation and benefits make it harder to stay. Retaining experienced nurses matters to our whole community.
Respect for our profession
We want fair, transparent standards and a democratic way to solve workplace problems and advocate for the future of nursing at Cottage.
