DESCRIPTION:Monday, November 12, 2007 : Nurses to Voice Protest at Critical San 
 Francisco Health Commission Hearing Tuesday  The California Nurses 
 Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee today condemned the 
 decision of Sutter Health to shut down one of its two general medical care 
 hospital floors at St. Luke’s Hospital in San Francisco – the latest in 
 a series of significant cuts that nurses say is intended to escalate the 
 closure of the hospital.\n\nSt. Luke’s RNs will join community members in 
 voicing their protests Tuesday in an important public hearing of the San 
 Francisco Health Commission during which Sutter will present its master 
 plan for San Francisco. What:             Health Commission Hears Testimony 
 on St. Luke’s ClosureWhen:             Tuesday, November 13, 3 p.m.Where: 
            San Francisco Health Commission, 101 Grove St., Rm. 300 Late 
 Friday afternoon, St. Luke’s management informed CNA/NNOC of its intent 
 to close a medical/surgical floor at the hospital as of December 5. The 
 decision follows Sutter’s announcement last month of its plans to 
 eliminate in-patient pediatric and neo-natal intensive care at St. 
 Luke’s.  In both cases, patients would be forced to go to other Sutter 
 hospitals in wealthier parts of the city, what CNA/NNOC has termed the 
 “medical redlining” of patient care by Sutter in San Francisco. Latino 
 and African-American patients are especially affected. Read More\n
