After almost a year of negotiations, nurses with PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Home Care Services are going on strike. More than 90 nurses with the Oregon Nurses Association will be striking for two-weeks starting Feb. 10. These nurses provide hospice care and other services to patients in the Eugene-area. The nurses have been working under an expired contract since April 2023 and are looking to raise safety standards, increase recruitment and retention and provider better pay.
