Kathy Butler-Crutchfield
KFRNA
Hello KFRNA,
My name is Kathy Butler-Crutchfield RN and I am your KFRNA Representative Coordinator. I have been a RN Case Manager in the Hospice department for the past 17 yrs and I have sat on multiple committees e.g. QAPI as a labor lead to ensure that regional measures and goals are accurate and reflective of the hard work and challenges that we the front line workers face every day. As we continue to face the National Staffing Crisis and enter into negotiations for our next contract, I can ensure you that my primary goal is to continue to fight for safe staffing, float policy and an overall fair contract that includes better working conditions. As your Representative Coordinator for the past 6 yrs, I’ve fought diligently to enforce and ensure that management abides by the CBA and that members are treated fair with dignity and respect. Vote to Re-Elect Kathy Butler-Crutchfield for Representative Coordinator and Re-Elect the ability to have your voice HEARD.
We are KFRNA
We Stay Ready ?

Melissa Robinson
UNHCEH
Hi, my name is Melissa Robinson BSN, RN and I am running for UNHCEH Co-Chair. As a former lead clinic nurse of an urgent care, current Co-Chair of the RN Staffing Committee, selected member of the HBV/ACS Staff Committee and ACS/PACU charge nurse I believe I am the best candidate for the job. If elected I will use the experience I have gained in these roles as well as the experience I have gained from working in various facilities during my career to work closely with UNHCEH members to continue building a strong union. As we come up on negotiating a new contract, I will work tirelessly to ensure we build a more robust contract that clearly states what members want. I would be honored if you elect me to be your UNHCEH Co-Chair.
