CDPH Violations Survey

As the University of California continues to put profits over patients, we see our patient load and acuity levels increasing and more being required of existing staff. It is up to us to protect our patients and our profession. Because our hospitals have become overcrowded while our units remain understaffed, CNA has developed this brief survey to track specific incidents of violations that fall under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
