Updates on CRONA Negotiations from Stanford Health Care and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford.

Dear Colleagues,

Monday, March 3, launched the first of three days of bargaining this week. The session’s highlights include:

  • Our team passed multiple proposals including New Technology and PNDP.
    • Our New Technology proposal includes strengthened language that makes it clear the hospitals are not looking to curtail or limit nurses in the exercise of their clinical judgment.
    • We look forward to continuing to work together on these topics and to having further discussions.
  • Meanwhile, our team continues to diligently review CRONA’s initial economic proposals.
  • The parties return to the table on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 4 and 5.
  • For the latest information please visit our website.


Thank you for your dedication and please stay tuned!
