Who we are

Frontline Defenders of Healthcare Integrity

We believe that integrity and transparency are the pillars of quality healthcare in America. That’s why we organized Nurses United for Healthcare Integrity: To make sure that healthcare providers are prioritizing patient care, promote accountability when harmful practices take away from our most vulnerable communities, and ensure that every patient receives high-quality medical care in an environment that prioritizes their care and frontline workers over corporate profits.

The Problems We’re Facing

A Broken System Hurting Patients & Nurses

What’s Happening:

Burnout & Understaffing

Nurses are overworked, underpaid, and stretched to the breaking point, leading to unsafe patient care conditions and forcing some to abandon careers they love.

Nonprofit Hospitals Profiting Off Patients

Many “nonprofit” hospitals operate like corporations—raking in massive profits while cutting essential services and failing to provide meaningful charity care.

Profits over Patients

Hospital systems and insurers have taken over the American healthcare system and have become too influential in patient care. As frontline providers, many nurses have experienced the increased influence these corporate giants have over their ability to provide the best care possible for their patients. It’s time that frontline providers and patients regain control over healthcare.

Government Program Abuses

Some hospitals exploit federal government programs, like the 340B Safety-Net Drug Program, which provides significant discounts on outpatient prescription drugs—provided by the manufacturers—to certain hospitals and healthcare organizations. Unfortunately, some hospitals are pocketing these savings, instead of passing those benefits on to the patients, investing in improving care in underserved communities, or protecting uninsured patients. This is a problem that concerns nurses across America. When hospitals prioritize profits over patient needs, this leads to insufficient resources, vulnerable patients, and a lack of transparency in how these federal discounts are being used.

Patient Abuse & Neglect

When hospitals prioritize financial goals over staffing and services, patients suffer—leading to delayed treatments, improper care, and medical harm.

Our healthcare system is failing patients and frontline workers by prioritizing profits over care—leading to unsafe working conditions, unethical financial practices, and harmful patient outcomes.

About Us

We are a coalition of nurses and healthcare advocates committed to ensuring that patient care and frontline workers come first in American healthcare—not profits. We believe in holding hospitals accountable when they exploit their nonprofit status and misuse federal programs. By empowering nurses to call-out bad practices and improve hospital integrity, our goal is to ensure that every patient receives high-quality medical care in an environment that supports all of us — nurses, doctors, healthcare staff, and the communities we serve.
