We are a platform for local action. We fight against unfair and unsafe treatment, policies and government decisions that impact your ability to provide safe and quality care. We negotiate and enforce your contracts, offer benefits and insurance, provide tailored education and development opportunities and more.

In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
