Founded in 1993 after Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida, PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE warehoused goods and fed more people than any other organization in the region. Since that time the group has worked on projects ranging from creating a home for the mentally retarded in Southbury, CT, earthquake relief in California, Mississippi River flood water cleanup in 1996, building schools for the Masai tribe in Kenya and warehousing supplies in Biloxi and New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina relief victims. Currently, we are focused on helping the women and children in the Andean region of Ecuador, where we have built 5 schools and a medical/dental facility. Students sent to these schools are sponsored by generous donors like yourselves, who help provide classroom materials, books, uniforms, meals and transportation. PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE is a 50(c)(3) registered for private non-sectarian foundation that today takes on projects on a need to serve basis. PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE is a virtual organization that comes together when there is a project in need, consequently we have no administrative cost or overhead. All donated money goes directly to the projects.

The Registered Nurses at Lenox Hill Hospital were first organized into a union in 1980 by Local 1199, the Health Care Workers Union. By 1984 a number of the staff nurses were disillusioned with the representation provided by Local 1199. They considered affiliating with other unions, but ultimately decided that the best union for Lenox Hill staff nurses would be one devoted exclusively to representing them. Thus, the New York Professional Nurses Union (NYPNU) was born. The staff nurses then launched a drive to decertify Local 1199, and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ordered an election in December 1984. The options on the ballot included Local 1199, no union, and NYPNU. NYPNU won a majority of the votes cast and the NLRB certified the Union as the exclusive bargaining agent for staff nurses in early 1985. President Maureen McCarthy, RN, Esq., and, Vice-President Kathy Flynn, RN, Esq., lead the union while working as full-time nurses at Lenox Hill. Along with the rest of the Officers, Delegates and membership, they successfully negotiated contracts in 1985, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006 and most recently October 2009. In 2000 Lenox Hill Hospital acquired Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital (MEETH), and the staff nurses at MEETH became members of NYPNU. For the first time, the 2003 contract explicitly included per diems RNs. Since then, Case Managers, Nurse Practitioners and Lactation Specialists have also joined NYPNU. The inclusion of all of these additional members has added to our strength. At times, NYPNU has assisted staff nurses at other hospitals in creating independent unions, including nurses at Physician's Hospital in Queens, at St. Barnabas Hospital in New Jersey and at the Kansas University Hospital in Kansas. NYPNU’s successful history provides the foundation for our future achievements. While some of the faces may change over the years, our members’ strength, dedication and solidarity remain the same. Welcome to LHH/MEETH, and welcome to your new union!
