In October 2021, Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital placed dozens of healthcare workers with approved religious exemptions on unpaid leave. SVMH said we were too dangerous to have taking care of patients, despite taking care of covid patients for the previous 18 months.  SVMH said we were too dangerous to have around other staff members, despite working with them side-by-side for the previous 18 months.   The group included physicians, Registered Nurses, techs, CNAs, and housekeepers.

The employees were told we would be able to continue to work with approved exemptions as directed by the California State Mandate… SVMH said we would be able to mask and test, like the California Department of Public Health directed us to.  Instead, they removed us from the schedule and placed us on leave for 9 months.   Then, they fired all of us, despite our approved exemptions.

We have an excellent team working for us.    Dan Watkins is a Christ follower that believes strongly in religious freedoms and is now representing us legally against Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital. His law firm is in need of help to continue the fight against SVMH’s decision to terminate their employees with sincerely held religious beliefs.   The law firm defending SVMH has postponed the trial for over 18 months!   Turning this into a 3 year fight.

Please pray for our law team!  Prayers for Dan, his law team, and our group would be greatly appreciated.
