Nurses Deliver a Message: Support Nursing Skills or Increase Doctor Bills

It was a proud day for the healthcare team of Ventura County Health Care Agency (VCHCA) when an overwhelming number of caregivers representing every department across the medical spectrum, from Med/Surg, ER, OB, OR, Public Health and outpatient Mental Health, took over the audience at the Board of Supervisors (BOS) meeting on Tuesday, April 9, 2013. In an attempt to persuade the BOS that designations in leadership and management need revamping nurses, psych-techs and respiratory therapists gave testimonials of what it’s like in the day in the life at our Level One Trauma Center Hospital and outpatient services which provide support quality, affordable health care for our community.
