Prioritizing Lifesaving Care for Kids

Following a meeting to discuss a path forward, the Laurelhurst Community Council (LCC) has agreed to fully support Seattle Children’s as it seeks city approval to end the Medical Review Committee for helicopter landings.

The Stranger read all the publicly-posted minutes from the Laurelhurst Community Council's website before the LCC suddenly took them all down:

Laurelhurst Community Council Isn’t Sure Helicopters Needed to Land Sick Kids at the Hospital 

This, the affluent North Seattle neighborhood will tell helicopters are quite the nuisance. Such a nuisance that a neighborhood group wanted to make sure the hospital wasn't landing flights on the helipad for non-emergency reasons, like a broken leg.

#SeattleChildrensHospital mgmt told staff to get ready to train 1200 traveller nurses if WSNA goes on strike.

Travellers generally cost at least 4X regular staff and can cost much more. The hospital almost entirely stopped using them because of the high cost.

I'm thinking this would work against them trying to convince anyone they don't have the money to just freaking pay their nurses more. Maybe I'm wrong. #unions #union

RFK Jr.'s HHS investigates Seattle Children's Hospital over youth gender-affirming care

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.advocate.com/politics/rfk-hhs-seattle-childrens-hospital

(Fern:) Two actions I took today:

https://www.foodforallor.org/get-involved I learned about SB 611, which is an Oregon bill that will allow undocumented immigrants to receive food assistance like SNAP. I used the form on the site to send a message to my representatives in support of this bill. I personalized it a little.

(This one is only for Oregon.)

https://monogr.ph/67a3f86c0b0ee042476f706c I learned about Seattle Children's Hospital stopping gender-affirming surgeries for youth. I sent an email to the hospital's leadership team, asking them to reinstate this care. I took the form letter and made it very personal, talking about my own suicide attempts and then surgery journey.

(This one, you can email the hospital team even if you don't have Washington representatives to email.)

If you're reading this, I encourage you to pick an issue (one of these, both of them, or a different issue, depending on your location) and send a message! Little actions add up. Let's go!!

Today's Seattle Children's Hospital protest in support of gender affirming care for trans youth was  awesome  

- There were at least 900 people there!  
- So many cars honking and waving!  
- Exactly *one* car flipping us off! 😘
