At a Boston-area hospital, the number of staff members diagnosed with brain tumors on the same floor has risen to at least six, with the tumors being benign. Despite assertions from the hospital’s leadership that no environmental risks have been found, a labor union representing nurses has vowed to seek answers. Initially, five nurses reported non-cancerous brain growths after working on the fifth-floor maternity unit. The sixth case, reported by a staff member, was disclosed later.

The hospital has conducted extensive testing on water, radiation levels, and air quality, with no identified environmental risks. However, the Massachusetts Nurses Association is conducting its investigation, citing concerns about the hospital’s limited interviews and testing scope. The union received over 300 responses and is diligently analyzing the information for further insights.

Hospital officials emphasized their commitment to employee health and safety, addressing misinformation circulating on social media. Despite these assurances, the union remains focused on uncovering the truth behind the concerning cluster of brain tumors among staff members. The situation has garnered national attention, prompting ongoing investigations and calls for transparency. As the hospital and union continue their respective inquiries, the priority remains ensuring the well-being and safety of all employees involved.
