Nurses at hospitals throughout Orange County banded together Aug. 5 in a “National Day of Action to Save Lives,” calling for better protection for health care workers and safer nurse-patient ratios amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The protests, conducted by the California Nurses Association and the National Nurses United union, took place beginning at 6 a.m. and lasted throughout the morning at Anaheim Global Medical Center on South Anaheim Boulevard; Chapman Global Medical Center on East Chapman Avenue in Orange; South Coast Global Medical Center on South Bristol Street in Santa Ana; West Anaheim Medical Center on West Orange Avenue; and Kindred Hospital Westminster on Hospital Circle.
