The Connecticut Department of Public Health is making preparations for potential strikes at 20 Connecticut nursing homes following official notices received from each of these facilities that a labor strike could begin as early as 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1, 2019.

In order to assist you in developing a Strike Contingency Plan, the Facility Licensing and Investigations Section (FLIS) has developed this webpage for all strike related resources (Strike Contingency memo, DPH Press Releases, Forms, Training Webinar )
