Twomey, Ann (1950-?)

Ann Twomey was a nurse at Englewood Hospital. She graduated from the Englewood Hospital's School of Nursing. She graduated and joined the hospital's cardiac care unit in 1971. Eventually, she was appointed to the nurses' council which allowed nurses to make recommendations to superiors. Twomey believed the council was not sufficient and began working to form a union in 1973. The union formed was the Professional Nurses Association. She led nurses to strike at the Pascack Valley Hospital in 1979 ending in a settlement. She became the president of the Health Professionals and Allied Employees of New Jersey, the largest union of healthcare professionals in New Jersey as of 2017.
