Brigham and Women's Hospital nursing union update

Statement from Brigham and Women's Hospital:

"We are pleased that Brigham and Women's Hospital has reached a tentative agreement with the Massachusetts Nurses Association and the MNA has called off its scheduled indefinite strike. The agreement remains subject to ratification by nurses in the bargaining unit, which the MNA has indicated it will support. Importantly, the agreement was reached within the financial limits of the hospital's last, best and final offer presented on Oct. 10. We deeply value our Brigham nurses and believe this agreement recognizes their important contributions while supporting the long-term sustainability of our hospital and our ability to care for our patients and communities. We are also grateful to the nursing leaders, clinicians and staff across Mass General Brigham who worked tirelessly to ensure we were prepared to provide safe, high-quality care under any circumstance."
