Teamsters from Yellow Corporation announced Monday that The Central States Health and Welfare fund will extend health care benefits for workers at the trucking company, at least temporarily averting a strike, according to a press release from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Private equity and creating and fostering a culture of health care compliance
July 20, 2023 – Private equity investment in health care can be lucrative. Yet, health care and private equity can often seem antithetical: One is driven by patient care and compliance while the other is motivated to make a quick profit.

OTTAWA –
The last time all of Canada’s premiers sat down around the same table, their attention was focused on getting Ottawa to pay more to fix the understaffed, hospitals, shuttered emergency rooms, surgical backlogs and health-worker shortages threatening the viability of their health systems.
When they sit down in Winnipeg for their annual summer gathering this week, the attention will turn more to how to use the new money Ottawa has now promised.

“They weren’t prescribing any medication,” the 40-year-old tells TODAY.com. “With the laws just passing … they were waiting for the Florida medical board to come up with their plan of action.”
