32BJ HEALTH FUND PARTNERS WITH HOSPITALS IN GROUND-BREAKING PLAN TO LOWER COMPLICATIONS, MAKE BIRTH SAFER FOR UNION WOMEN

The 32BJ Health Fund, a unique labor-management partnership, announced that eight hospitals in New York and New Jersey will be part of a first-of-its kind program to focus on lowering pregnancy complications.

Total out-of-pocket costs for prenatal care and delivery at hospitals in the program will be as little as $40 for all medical care for tens of thousands of working-class mothers in New York and New Jersey.
