More than 1,200 nurses at Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital in North Philadelphia have voted to authorize a strike as their negotiations with management continue for a new contract, their union announced on Monday. The union’s members voted 96% in favor of authorizing a strike, which gives leaders the ability to initiate one, but does not mean that a strike is imminent. In a press release, the union’s leaders said they have been working without a contract since April and are asking for improvements in nurse staffing and security, as well as a limit to cuts to benefits and departments. “We have a healing mission,” said PASNAP President Maureen May. “We want to heal our patients. We want to heal our community. And we want to be a part of healing a system that doesn’t always have our backs. That’s why we are prepared to take action—not because we want conflict, but because our patients and caregivers deserve better.”  NBC10 has reached out to Jefferso

It’s been a down year for Trea Turner. But the Phillies remain confident in their shortstop. He’ll bat second against the Marlins on Monday night at Citizens Bank Park, despite questions about a potential reset day or a move down in the lineup. Don Mattingly said he did not give much thought to sitting Turner. “Well, I really didn’t think about it today,” Mattingly said. “So I really wouldn’t need deliberation at all.” The conversation around town right now centers on Turner, the 32-year-old shortstop who won the National League batting title last year and is now enduring one of the biggest slumps of his major league career. Turner is batting .219 with a .598 OPS through a league-leading 288 at-bats. His OPS is the seventh lowest among 156 qualified hitters in the sport. His struggles are reminiscent of his first season in Philadelphia. After a hot 19-game stretch in 2023, Turner spent the next 88 games in a massive skid. He produced a .217/.270/.350 slash line in

MILWAUKEE – The Phillies displayed a little resilience in their 9-8 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday night. In the wide-angle view, they bounced back from Friday night’s throttling at the hands of Milwaukee right-hander Jacob Misiorowski, who shut them out on one hit and 15 strikeouts. In the up-close view, they didn’t fret when starting pitcher Aaron Nola squandered a three-run lead in the middle innings. They rallied for five runs in the top of the sixth, another in the eighth and ultimately survived a rocky eighth inning in which reliever Brad Keller did his best to give it all away. “It was a wild game,” said catcher J.T. Realmuto, who had a big night with four RBIs. “That’s a good lineup over there. They did a good job fighting back. Obviously, it was closer than we would have liked it to be, but we found a way to win.” Manager Don Mattingly gave the ball to Keller with a 9-5 lead in the bottom of the eighth. Keller faced eight batters in the inning. He ga

At 75 years old, Jane Seymour still feels young at heart, and she has some simple tips for others who want to live a healthy, balanced life. The “Harry Wild” star stopped by Studio 1A on June 10 to chat about Season 5 of the series with Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones. Seymour, who shows no signs of slowing down in her 70s, told the TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle co-hosts that she never “in a million years” imagined her life would be so vibrant at 75 years old. “I can’t even believe I am 75. Inside, I think I’m a teenager. I’ve never been happier. I’ve never had more energy. And I’m just living my best life right now,” she said. Jenna couldn’t help but point out that Seymour looks “incredible.” “Do you have a secret for us? Is there a secret?” she asked. “Yeah, I don’t do any of it. … I never diet.

Christian Pulisic is back in red, white and blue. Pulisic made his U.S. men’s national team debut at just 17 years old in a World Cup qualifying match, and since then, he’s turned into one of the brightest young American soccer stars of all time.

The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday expanded its list of allowed sunscreen ingredients to include the chemical compound bemotrizinol. The change has been eagerly anticipated for years: Bemotrizinol has long been popular in Europe, Australia and some Asian countries. It also marks the first time in more than 20 years the FDA has permitted a new compound onto its sunscreen ingredient list . Why the excitement? Bemotrizinol is a UV light filter, meaning it blocks out harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. To be most effective, these filters need to be broad-spectrum, meaning they block UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays cause aging and wrinkles while UVB rays cause sunburn, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Both contribute to skin cancer, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. UV filters come in two formats: mineral or chemical. The mineral sunscreens — which contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide — block both UVA and UVB rays, but often leave a

You can help yourself to lower cholesterol naturally, without medication, by eating the right foods. Cardiologists say a healthy diet is one of the best ways to protect heart health, in addition to exercising more, staying a healthy weight and quitting smoking. So what does a heart doctor eat to keep her cholesterol numbers in check? Heart health tip of the day: Eat these 5 fiber-rich foods to lower cholesterol “As a cardiologist, I always tell patients that lowering their LDL ‘bad’ cholesterol can help prevent cardiovascular disease — and the No. 1 nutrient that can help is fiber,” Dr. Elizabeth Klodas, a preventive cardiologist in Minneapolis, Minnesota, told CNBC.com. “Many foods have soluble fiber, which binds cholesterol (particles) in the digestive system and drags them out of the body before they get into circulation.” She eats these five fiber-rich foods every day: Oats Chickpeas Arugula Almonds Avocado

Something important happened for the Phillies over the last week. Citizens Bank Park once again became a difficult place for opponents to play. The Phillies wrapped up their first homestand of June with a 9-5 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday afternoon. When the homestand opened, the Phils were two games under .500 in their Pattison Avenue playground. Five wins and one loss later, they are two games over .500 at home, 35-30 overall, and in control of a wild-card spot as they hit the road for six games, three against the defending American League champion Toronto Blue Jays and three against the National League Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers. As the weather has warmed, so has the Phils’ offense. They hit .278 on homestand, belted 10 home runs and scored 32 runs, 5.3 per game. At the start of the homestand, they ranked second-to-last in the majors at 3.8 runs per game. The Phillies received outstanding starting pitching on the homestand from Cristopher Sanchez and Za

Residents in Wilmington are testing a traffic safety measure they hope will make a dangerous intersection safer and eventually lead to permanent changes. With permission from the city, neighbors spent a whole day cleaning, taping off and painting part of the area around Lancaster Avenue and Connell Street as part of a temporary project known as daylighting. Daylighting improves visibility at intersections by preventing vehicles from parking closest to corners, making it easier for drivers, pedestrians and others using the roadway to see one another. Organizers say the temporary project is only supposed to last for a few days. Afterward, they plan to survey neighbors to determine whether residents believe it improved safety. Neighbors say this intersection has long been a concern because vehicles often travel fast down Lancaster Avenue, making it difficult for drivers on Connell Street to safely see oncoming traffic when turning onto the avenue. “This is local. It’s

A horse is safe after a rare rescue effort by first responders in Lower Providence, Montgomery County. Watch the rescue in the video above Volunteer firefighter John Evans, a 21-year member of the Lower Providence Fire Department, said animal rescues are uncommon during his years of service. However, that changed Tuesday night when responders received an unusual call. “He said we have a horse in a pool,” Evans said. When Evans arrived, he found the horse trapped in a swimming pool. It was unclear how long the animal had been in the water. As the sun began to set, responders worked to keep the horse from slipping farther into the pool. A Lower Providence police officer held the animal while Evans tried to gain its trust. “We won’t hurt ya,” responders could be heard telling the horse. Evans said he moved hay bales near the pool and used them to help encourage the horse toward safety. “I grabbed hay, moved hay bales to the po

Argentina is on a mission to win another FIFA World Cup title in North America this summer, but there are other players chasing a second trophy on soccer’s biggest stage. Only 21 players in history have won two World Cups, and Pelé is the only player in history to win three. No one has been able to capture a second title since 2002, when Ronaldo and Cafu pulled off the feat with Brazil. Along with the Argentine champions, a handful of players from other recent winners are looking to earn a second World Cup crown. While some returning victors have a long way to go in their international careers, others could be stepping on a World Cup pitch for the final time in 2026. These are the players who are back with a chance to lift the World Cup trophy a second time: 2026 FIFA World Cup Soccer

As Philadelphia prepares to welcome soccer fans from all over the world, leaders are urging event hosts to prepare for possible encounters with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at FIFA World Cup watch parties and the Fan Festival in Lemon Hill. On June 3, councilmembers and advocates held a news conference, named “No ICE in the Cup,” at City Hall to call on business owners, organizers and hosts to have a safety plan in place to protect visitors in case of ICE activity at these World Cup-related events. “We must prepare for potential ICE activities in our businesses and our communities.

To help hosts prepare, the Pennsylvania Immigration Coalition (PIC) said it will be offering free trainings about constitutional rights, local laws and best practices to ensure the safety of all guests during the tourn
