Nurse and staff leaders from National Nurses United paid a visit to the University of Alberta Hospital on September 26, 2018 and met with Registered Nurses from United Nurses of Alberta Local 301 to discuss how public health care is delivered at large hospitals in Alberta. The Nurses were given a tour of the hospital by Alberta Health Services officials.
The American nurses travelled to Alberta this week to learn about Canadian single-payer health care as Registered Nurses across the United States fight for a Medicare for All system that will guarantee health care as a human right. Their trip included meetings with Health Minister Sarah Hoffman and UNA Executive Officers and labour relations staff.
