In a report by WTAJ, nurses at the medical facility are still expressing concern and frustration with a memo received in April stating that nurses had to increase their patient roster up to 8 at a time. Nurses say they were threatened with an hr meeting if they did not comply, but UPMC said in an earlier memo that was not true. One person told TV10 that her husband was not receiving proper care and called in to get a nurse to check on him, and the nurse told the patient she was going to get into trouble because of that phone call. Tensions between UPMC management and nurses remains at a high level. UPMC did not respond to a request by TV 10 for comment according to the report
