NEWBURYPORT, Mass., Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Registered nurses at Beth Israel Lahey Anna Jaques Hospital (AJH) are sounding the alarm about the safety of patient care at the facility due to the lack of needed staff in a number of departments and the recent decisions by the hospital administration to close essential services, including the decision last year to close the hospital's pediatric unit and the periodic closure of the hospital's Computer Tomography (CT) scanning service.
