## Resource

Nurses at Ascension Via Christi in Wichita are staging a one-day strike on July 6th, demanding urgent safety reforms after a suicide outside ER and a teen arrested for threatening to shoot up the hospital. Frustrated by years of unsafe conditions, they’re pushing for a contract that mandates 24-hour weapon detection at all entrances—not just ERs—and insists on proper staffing to prevent volatile situations. The union, National Nurses United, wants these protections legally binding to ensure accountability. The hospital will run with replacement staff to keep care going, but nurses say real safety starts with people—not just metal detectors.
