Labor LandscapeSince January, Magee-Womens Hospital nurses have been advocating for more time with their patients by establishing minimum nurse-to-patient ratios.
“The Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council released a recent report showing that Magee was the most profitable out of all 152 general acute care hospitals in the state.’’
Since January, Magee nurses reported having too little time with patients and are battling high turnover, burnout and the loss of experienced nurses and inadequate benefits.
But according to the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council, an independent state agency that tracks health care costs, quality and access, UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital posted $437.5 million in operating profit last year.
A global leader in groundbreaking research, treatments, and clinical care, UPMC has more than 40 hospitals and 800 doctors’ offices and outpatient centers across Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York.
