"Santa Clara County Nurses Stage Massive 3-Day Strike"

Thousands of nurses from Santa Clara County's public hospitals, including Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, O'Connor, and St. Louise, are on a three-day strike over wage increases and concerns about relocating nurses for temporary assignments. The union and county have reached a tentative agreement on workplace safety but remain at an impasse over pay raises and the "floating" policy. The county has brought in about 1,000 travel nurses to cover for the striking nurses, costing over $20 million, while facing a $250 million shortfall going into the next fiscal year.

General Catalyst's Billion-Dollar Bid for Hospital System Signals VC Firm's Ambitious Expansion

Venture capital firm General Catalyst is planning to buy and operate a hospital system through its new company, the Healthcare Assurance Transformation Corporation (HATCo). The goal is to create a revolutionary healthcare company that serves as a proving ground for technology from General Catalyst's portfolio companies and spreads successful innovations to a network of 20 other health system partners. The move aims to bypass the challenges faced by digital health startups in dealing with slow-moving health systems and accessing high-quality patient data. General Catalyst is looking for a hospital in the $1 billion to $3 billion range and intends to have a long-term vision rather than a quick sale.

Ochsner Hospital System to Lay Off Hundreds in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Louisiana's largest hospital system, Ochsner Health, has laid off 800 staff, citing financial and workforce challenges, high inflation, and the end of pandemic relief funding from the government. The roles cut were mainly management and non-direct patient care roles. No physicians were impacted, and those with active clinical credentials will be offered direct patient care roles. The layoffs come as healthcare labor costs rise, and hospitals face a shortage of patient clinicians.
