Mary Kay Henry has devoted her life to helping America's health caregivers form unions, improve their jobs and the quality of care, and advocate for a more rational and humane health care system.

During her 25 years as an organizer and leader in the nation's largest health care union, she has played a major role in helping more than half a million health care workers join together in SEIU, negotiate for better working and patient care conditions, and actively shape health care policy at the state and federal levels.

Since June 2004, she has served as an International Executive Vice President of SEIU, leading the work of the union's Health Systems Division. The division represents more than half a million health care workers, including aides, technicians, doctors, nurses, and SEIU's 84,000-member organization of registered nurses, the SEIU National Nurse Alliance. Its Value Care, Value Nurses campaign is working to raise awareness about the obstacles nurses face in providing patient care and to find real solutions in our nation's hospitals.
