SEIU 1021 Members Applaud the Suspension of Patient Transfers from Laguna Honda Hospital
Stopping these transfers will save lives and protect patients
We fought and we won a temporary suspension of patient transfers at Laguna Honda
The situation regarding Laguna Honda Hospital’s certification status with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has been stressful for us all—patients, staff, and community members alike. After notice had been given that CMS was going to be terminating their Medicare and Medicaid funding, the hospital was required to begin transferring patients. If the hospital failed to begin those transfers right away, they were told their funding would be cut off immediately.
