Montefiore Weiler Nurses March on the Boss

(Email Update June 6, 2025)

Thirty nurses from Montefiore Weiler Hospital marched on the nursing office on Monday, June 2, to deliver more than 500 signatures demanding a halt to the changes to their intensive care unit (ICU). Montefiore has announced massive restructuring plans in recent months. While Montefiore is closing beds in some units to expand ICU capacity at one campus, it is converting an ICU back to a stepdown unit at another site. That will result in the loss of almost 50 beds across the system. 

NYSNA nurses have had enough. They demanded that Montefiore negate its July 1 deadline to convert the unit, meet with the union immediately and explore alternatives with nurses. The action sent a clear message to management that NYSNA nurses are united for patient care at Montefiore Weiler!
