As part of contract negotiations, SEIU-UHW members are asking Daughters of Charity to join them in efforts to recruit and train healthcare workers; fight chronic illness statewide; and focus on new ways to improve population health.

Specifically, SEIU-UHW members told Daughters of Charity leaders that they intend to build a team of 10,000 healthcare providers to launch a statewide education program focused on wellness and preventive care. The team will also help prepare for the increasing healthcare demands of an aging population and help create a fund to train new healthcare workers.

The healthcare workers’ contract expires April 30.
