Episode Details

Hospice nurses at Allina Health are set to strike starting September 11, 2026, after failed contract talks—even with a federal mediator—highlighting deep tensions in healthcare amid a looming potential acquisition by Sutter Health. These nurses, who provide vital end-of-life care, are demanding better staffing, fairer pay, and manageable patient loads amid an already strained workforce. With emotional demands and low retention rates, they’re pushing back against what they see as ignored concerns. Allina Health says it’s disappointed but is preparing contingency plans to keep patients safe, though delays may occur.
