I am a member of the Asheville community and past, current, or future patient at Mission Hospital. Our community needs and deserves a hospital that provides quality, patient-focused care to our region.

HCA has made it explicit that "quality care was never guaranteed" according to your very own lawyers responding to a recent breach of contract suit. This is disgusting! HCA's greed has driven our region's largest hospital to near-disaster and created a revolving door for burned-out staff so that HCA can drive up your stock price.

We, citizen of Asheville, demand a better hospital and we know that the nurses are the ones advocating for the changes we need to turn the hospital around. They have been tireless fighters calling-out HCA's lies and failures. We stand with them as they head into their bargaining period. We'll be marching, cheering, and celebrating with them as they keep fighting for a better Mission Hospital. Asheville stands with nurses!

Sincerely,
