The Crisis in Care report presents the results of a six-week survey of 33,140 allied healthcare workers from nearly 200 medical facilities across California.

The results expose in alarming detail California’s healthcare staffing crisis and its devastating impact on working conditions and patient care, and the failure of employers and government to adequately address worker shortages.
