HOLYOKE For 32 years, Lynn Orlowski worked caring for patients at Providence Behavioral Health Hospital. But last week was her last at the hospital, which is now under new ownership that has declined to recognize the contract of unionized nurses in the building.
“This is an extremely devastating time for myself and my former coworkers,” Orlowski said Thursday. She said that her patients were like family and that it pained her when they asked if she would continue working at the hospital when new ownership took over. “It was extremely devastating and difficult to express the fact that I could not.”

Saint Vincent CEO Carolyn Jackson said in a staff memo Friday evening the hospital will resume negotiation with the nurses union and a mediator on Monday, around the 50-day point of the strike.
