“Public health is ‘population health,’ which means caring for residents the way a bedside nurse cares for an individual patient. As professionals we are committed to keeping our residents safe and protected from infectious diseases like COVID-19, but also from the County Board’s unwillingness to hear workers and fix their broken funding decisions. Supporting our strike means you are supporting our community recovery. Our Santa Cruz community deserves better.

– Amy Meza, Public Health Nurse III, Health Services Agency
