Forum Health Rally
Forum Health workers and supporters rallied in downtown Youngstown Nov. 19, 2009.
YOUNGSTOWN — Choice, access to quality health care and preservation of jobs is the message of Northside Medical Center nurses in the face of increasing likelihood that Forum Health will be sold.
About 50 registered nurses and supporters rallied in a parking lot off Vindicator Square at 3:45 p.m. today and marched to the steps of the Nathaniel R. Jones Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse on Commerce Street to reinforce that Northside and its employees are an asset to the community.
“The community and Northside consumers have weighed in. They want and expect choice and access to quality health care,” said Eric Williams, president of the Ohio Nurses Association/Youngstown General Duty Nurses Association.
“We have an interest in continuing down the path of reorganization, but the sale of Forum Health is highly likely. This comes down to the creditors. They want their money now,” Williams added.

Comments
Here we go again, northside hospital is like cement boots to forum health just close it already.
The valley has gotten too small for so many hospitals. Time to close Northside and move on. Unfortunately, union rallies will have NO effect on that need or decision. Forum Health's time in Y-town has passed.
