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. 

Key Points: 
  • In response, nurses report that hospital management has done nothing to address the conditions, which have only gotten worse.
  • "We were also concerned that while the CT service was closed, the public and our patients were not informed of that fact," Carbone said.
  • After a public hearing on the closure, the state's Department of Public Health, deemed the service "essential" for the health of the community.
  • To date, AJH's administration has turned a deaf ear to the nurses' concerns and their efforts to address the nurses' concerns.
