Lutheran Hospital: Ongoing Union Negotiations and Patient Care Updates

Our Commitment

We value all of our caregivers at Lutheran Hospital and recognize this is a difficult situation for caregivers and their families. We remain committed to continuing good-faith negotiations with the union to reach an agreement.

Patient Care and Hospital Operations

Patient care and safety remain our top priorities.

Lutheran Hospital remains fully staffed and continues to provide all inpatient care, appointments and scheduled procedures without disruption.

Patient care and operations are being supported by additional caregivers from across the Cleveland Clinic health system.

Benefits Eligibility Information

Beginning Oct. 1, some caregivers will no longer meet eligibility requirements for active employee benefits because they have not worked their scheduled shifts.

Impacted caregivers will receive information about COBRA continuation coverage and other available coverage options.

Hospital Workforce Facts

Lutheran Hospital employs approximately 800 caregivers. Nearly 200 caregivers are represented by the union.

Approximately half of union-represented caregivers continue to work their scheduled shifts, while approximately half are on strike.
