The management of the Healthcare Partners Hospital today bowed to pressure from dialysis patients and rehired Nurse Maria Ack. A spokesman at the hospital confirmed to 7News this evening that Nurse Ack should report back to work tomorrow morning. Patients, led by activist Jose Cruz, have been up in arms since Nurse Ack resigned on December 31st.

In addition, the hospital has appointed Dr. Marina Reyes, an internist, to head the Dialysis Unit. Dr. Reyes will work closely with Dr. Luna - a nephrologist from Guatemala. The hospital also agreed to certify the other nurses in the dialysis unit and to work closely with the Kidney Association to ensure the quality of service remains high.
