Date:3/19/2008

Healthcare workers join panel after key ground rules established

OAKLAND, Calif., March 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- United Healthcare Workers-West, representing 1,200 caregivers employed by Sutter Health's California Pacific Medical Center and St. Luke's Hospital in San Francisco, has joined the Blue Ribbon Panel formed to develop a plan for the future of St. Luke's.

-- maintenance of all current services at St. Luke's and a guarantee of no further staff reductions until the panel process is complete.
