Kaiser Permanente nurses protest to call attention to layoffs, AI use in hospitals ...Middle East

Outside the Vacaville Medical Center, a few dozen nurses joined in on the nationwide demonstration. 

"Kaiser right now is attempting to lay off nurses in San Rafael and the outpatient setting, and we have a feeling that that is going to spread throughout," said Macalino.  Those pending layoffs next month in San Rafael will impact 41 nurses. A Kaiser Permanente spokesperson told CBS Sacramento that the layoffs reflect a needed "rebalance of resources" post-pandemic and that quality of care will not be affected. 

Here is the full statement Kaiser Permanente sent CBS Sacramento in light of Tuesday's demonstrations: 

Kaiser Permanente is empowering nurses with state-of-the-art tools and technologies that support our mission of providing high-quality, affordable health care to best meet our members' and patients' needs. We have consistently invested in and embraced technology that enables nurses to work more effectively, resulting in improved patient outcomes and nurse satisfaction, and we will continue to do so. At Kaiser Permanente, artificial intelligence (AI) tools don't make medical decisions — our physicians and care teams are always at the center of decision making with our patients. We believe that AI may be able to help our physicians and employees and enhance our members' experience. As an organization dedicated to inclusiveness and health equity, we ensure the results from AI tools are correct and unbiased; AI does not replace human assessment," the statement reads. 

If the Governor signs it, it would become law Jan. 1, 2026.
