Georgenhospital

Last updated

The Georgenhospital was a leper hospital established in Berlin in the thirteenth century. It was built outside the city, in Oderberg [1]

There is another hospital of the same name in Frankfurt (Oder).

There were many other St. Georgen hospitals in central and eastern German-speaking areas. They were always located outside the gates of medieval towns, mostly on important trade routes, and were originally leprosariums. They had buildings for the accommodation of the sick, a St. George's chapel and an enclosed cemetery. When the plague had disappeared, the hospitals were often used as poorhouses.

The 2021 St. Charles Bend strike was a labor strike involving technical workers at the St. Charles Medical Center – Bend in Bend, Oregon, United States. The strike was precipitated when, in 2019, the workers at the hospital unionized with the Oregon Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals. Following this, the union's bargaining unit began to negotiate a labor contract between the workers and the hospital, with several dozen negotiating meetings following over the next year. By December 2020, however, both sides were at an impasse, and in February 2021, the union filed a strike notice. Despite legal challenges by the hospital, the strike commenced on March 4. On March 13, both sides agreed to a proposal by a federal mediator, with workers to return to work while both sides continued to negotiate a contract, with a deadline of March 31. The strike officially ended on March 15 and workers returned to the hospital. A contract was eventually ratified between the union and hospital by the end of that month.

The 2021–22 Saint Vincent Hospital strike was a labor strike involving nurses at the Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts, United States.
