The calls for a one-day strike, set for Feb. 2, came after nine months of contract negotiations between the Wyoming Valley Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Association and its Cincinnati, Ohio-based former employer, Capital Anesthesia Solutions.
The association lost seven CRNAs after Capital Anesthesia Solutions became the association’s employer in August 2020.
“We look forward to bargaining a fair union contract with our new employer, whomever that may be — a contract that ensures full and safe staffing of our anesthesia department so that we can provide our community with the quality of care it deserves,” Nancy Dines, vice president of the CRNA association, told the Leader.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
