NYSNA Nurses Hold Virtual Town Hall to Spotlight Staffing Issues at Northwell/Putnam Hospital

For over a year, NYSNA nurses at Northwell Health/Putnam Hospital have been bargaining for a fair union contract that includes safe staffing standards to ensure they can deliver quality patient care to Putnam County residents. But Northwell—who took over the hospital in 2025 after acquiring Nuvance Health—is pushing for nurse-to-patient ratios that would make it even harder for nurses to deliver the level of care their patients deserve.

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is discharged from hospital after a stroke and goes to rehab facility

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut said on Friday that he has been discharged from the hospital after suffering a stroke last weekend and will miss “several weeks” of votes in the Senate as he recovers in a rehabilitation facility. Murphy, 53, said in a statement that doctors are “very encouraged by the progress I've made so far" and that the stay at the rehabilitation center will get him back to work on the quickest timeline possible. Murphy said doctors diagnosed him with a small hemorrhagic stroke, which is a bleed in the brain. He said he called 911 on Oct. 31 out of an abundance of caution after feeling that “something was not right” with his body. “This has been a scary experience for me and my family, and I appreciate the continued respect for our privacy,” he said. The press release updating Murphy's condition included a statement from Dr. Jose Suarez, chief of neurosciences critical care at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Suarez said the senator has shown tremendous progress and “we expect that he will make a full recovery following rehabilitation.” In the Senate, Murphy serves on the Appropriations Committee and is a leading voice
