The nurses at Jefferson Bucks Hospital, Einstein Center One and Willowcrest are ready to have a voice and are speaking out about what they are seeing at the bedside every day. It’s time for Jefferson Health to stop fighting their own nurses!

Emergency room nurse Ashley Bupp said that a patient had to remain in the ER for 35 hours and a ward had to be shut down because of staffing shortages before the nurses said they would seek to unionize.

“We’re organizing because Jefferson Bucks nurses are being asked every day to do more with less and less, and it’s getting harder and harder to feel like our concerns are actually being heard,” Bupp said in a press announcement. “We’re dealing with understaffing, heavier workloads and equipment and resources that don’t always work when we need them.”

Approximately 160 nurses at Jefferson Bucks Hospital and another 40 at two centers connected with Jefferson Einstein Hospital in Philadelphia held a press conference Tuesday at the Bucks hospital in

Thank you to NBC10 Philadelphia and all of the news outlets that came out to hear from nurses at Jefferson Bucks Hospital, Einstein Center One and Willowcrest as they speak publicly about what they are seeing at the bedside every day.

These nurses are organizing because they have watched Jefferson Health spend critical healthcare dollars on advertising, expansion and efforts to discourage workers from unionizing, while bedside caregivers concerns about staffing, resources and hospital conditions go unheard.

Now, they’re fighting for a real voice in the decisions that directly impact their jobs, their working conditions and, most importantly, the care they are able to provide their patients.

BREAKING🚨 Nurses from Jefferson Bucks Hospital, Einstein Center One AND Jefferson Health Willowcrest have just held a press conference to announce that OVER 200 NURSES from ALL THREE facilities have just filed to UNIONIZE!

“We’re dealing with understaffing, heavier workloads, and equipment and resources that don’t always work when we need them.”, says Ashley Bupp, an emergency room nurse at Jefferson Bucks Hospital.

These experiences aren’t isolated, they’re an epidemic. Jefferson Health is increasingly asking their nurses to do more with less and less, which ultimately comes at the expense of the quality care our patients need and deserve.

Meanwhile, they are spending big money on expansion, branding, and union busters.

Nurses at Jefferson Bucks, Willowcrest and Einstein Center One are FED UP, and READY TO HAVE A VOICE when it comes to respect for caregivers and advocating for patients!

“Warm your hearts, freeze our costs.”

The cost of healthcare in this country is far too high, and bedside caregivers see the consequences every single day.

Patients are rationing medications. They’re putting off treatments and preventive screenings because they simply can’t afford them. They’re delaying care until a manageable health issue becomes an emergency.

This has to stop.

PASNAP is proud to stand with organizations like to call on insurance providers and healthcare organizations to FREEZE rising healthcare costs.

Healthcare should be accessible AND affordable. We will never stop fighting for our patients, our families and our communities.

Congratulations to PASNAP President Maureen May on making the City and State PA "Who's Who in Labor 2026" list!

Over her eight years in the job, the Temple University Health nurse’s role has ranged from supporting striking nurses and fighting for better worker contracts to, more recently, advocating for measures preventing workplace violence and for guardrails around private equity’s presence in commonwealth healthcare."
