For the past month, Jackson’s nurses, doctors and healthcare professionals have been meeting with Miami Dade Commissioners to give our elected officials an up-close look at what’s happening inside our public hospital.
During the meetings, caregivers have been sharing their perspectives on the current status of various units throughout Jackson. They are also discussing the importance of keeping our hospital public as well as sharing some cost-saving ideas that could help put Jackson on the path toward a sustainable future.
So far, members have met with Commissioner Jose “Pepe” Diaz, Chairman Joe Martinez and Commissioner Xavier Suarez and the meetings have been well-received by our elected officials! Upcoming meetings include Commissioners Bruno Barreiro, Barbara Jordan and Rebeca Sosa. We are working to schedule meetings with all commissioners.
If you are interested in attending one of our upcoming meetings next week, please contact Daniella Aird at 305-620-6555 or email her at daniella@seiu1991.org.
