PROTECT OUR HEALTHCARE WORKERS
We the undersigned demand immediate PPE protection and hazard pay for all healthcare staff working at Hawaii Hospitals. If Hospitals in Hawaii are unable to provide the proper protection for workers, we demand allowing outside PPE to be used. It is heartless and unacceptable to prevent nurses and other healthcare workers from wearing their own protective equipment during this pandemic.
The Joint Commission supports allowing staff to bring their own PPE to use at work when their healthcare organizations cannot routinely provide access to protective equipment that is commensurate with the risk to which they are exposed.

Why is this important?
As workers in healthcare we are here to help, but we are afraid for our lives, and the lives of our families. Give us the protection we need to do our jobs, and stop preventing us from protecting ourselves.
