Background
This website is created by the healthcare worker’s union of New Mexico, 1199NM. Our goal is to inform the public about issues concerning hospital healthcare at Christus St.Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This hospital is the sole community provider of inpatient medical services in Santa Fe.
In 2008, the hospital was taken over by Christus Healthcare System, a Dallas, Texas Catholic hospital chain. Much remains hidden about the takeover. In this website we offer to the public a forum for discussion and exchange of information regarding this takeover and all its implications.
We will also be using the website to offer the public our view of 1199NM’s upcoming negotiations with the Christus chain to retain and improve our labor contract. The site contains a blog with some of the subjects that have been of interest to the community recently. These subjects are marked as Categories. Categories may be added. We solicit comments, posts and links. Please tell your stories; we are listening.
Because there is specialized vocabulary, there will soon be a glossary and we will also be adding a page of links. You can find the complete text of the current contract on the Contract page and a link to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services on the Directives Page. The subjects with which we begin this dialog are:
- Labor Relations & Negotiations
- End of Life Care
- Reproductive Care
- Staffing
- Business, Finance and Billing
- SupportCo
- Government Relations and Regulations.
