Butler Hospital

They're victories for all of us who live here and might need to get health care at some point.

So next up after Rhode Island Hospital, fellow union comrades at Women and Infants Hospital, Butler Hospital, and Kent Hospitals, who have also recently unionized, are fighting for their own contracts as well.

And Dr. Ben Raymond Kolker told Steve Alquist – he is an internal medicine pediatrics resident – said, quote, The reason we're doing this is we believe that the people of Rhode Island deserve excellent care, and we want to do everything in our power to advocate for that while making sure that we're also able to care for ourselves and attend to our own well-being, end quote.

So big shout-out, CIRSCIU.

And I picked it up and I was completely captivated.

And when I turned the book over and I saw that the author worked at Butler Hospital in Rhode Island, I was so excited.

So I reached out to her research team and I started volunteering.

I ended up spending two years there learning the ins and outs of clinical research and hearing stories and struggles of individuals with body dysmorphia.
