Greetings,

Let us intorduce you to Jan Smith.  For the last year and a half, Jan has been organizing with her co-workers to join SEIU-UHW at St. Jude Medical Center. Over a year ago, Jan went out on leave for 5 months due to a bike accident.  After being back at work for 7 months, her doctor scheduled her for surgery and St. Jude administration approved the leave for her surgery.  Now when she needs her healthcare benefits the most, ST JUDE cancelled her healthcare coverage and cashed out all her  paid time off (PTO) benefits without her consent.  

No one should go through what Jan is facing.  As a healthcare provider for our community, St. Jude should not terminate its own employees healthcare coverage.  It should do the right thing and reinstate Jan Smith's health benefits. 

Please help Jan Smith by calling the new CEO of St. Jude Hospital, Mr. Lee Penrose Sr. at 714-992-3000 X3939 or email lee.penrose@stjoe.org and tell him:

1.     As he takes on his new roll at St. Jude, we expect him to do the right thing and reinstate Jan Smith's health benefits.

2.     We expect St. Jude Hospital to be a responsible member of our community.

With your help, Jan Smith will overcome this injustice!
