BAC Members & Supporters gathered for a third time on Friday, March 19th 2010 in an ongoing campaign demanding St. John's either 1. reinstate certified nurse midwives at Pleasant Valley Hospital in Camarillo, 2. provide evidence to support their claims that the ban is due to concerns over "patient safety", or 3. retract their claims that patient safety were at the root of their decision. See our Press Room for articles about this issue. For BAC's position piece on this issue see our Home Page.
