Sign the petition to save St. Mary’s Hospital in Passaic!

Attention JNESO Members:  St. Mary’s Hospital is planning to be acquired by Prime Healthcare Services in order to keep its doors open and continue to provide quality healthcare to the public, as well as employment to over 1,200 people.

Our Union has ratified an agreement with Prime so that our members can become part of this new, more successful chapter in St. Mary’s history.  But before moving forward, the State of New Jersey must approve the acquisition.

As Union members, you have a powerful voice, support this acquisition by going to the web site to sign the petition. Remember there is strength in numbers so please encourage family and friends to support this very important cause!
