Eleven days before trial starts for 10 Filipino nurses and their lawyer in New York, the state’s health department came out with its findings in an inquiry that residents of the nursing home “were not placed in jeopardy” when the health workers quit their jobs in April 2006.

The Filipinos, who are holding immigrant visas, are scheduled to face trial starting January 28 in a Suffolk County district court on charges of conspiracy and endangering patients in a pediatric ventilation unit at Avalon Gardens Rehabilitation and Health Care Center.

New York-based Newsday reported in its online edition on Thursday that the health department was the second major government agency to support the nurses’ claim that the patients’ lives were not placed in danger when they quit.

The state’s education department, which licenses nurses, said in 2006 that the Filipino nurses did not abandon their patients.

Facing trial are Elmer Jacinto, Juliet Anilao, Harriet Avila, Mark dela Cruz, Claudine Gamiao, Jennifer Lampa, Rizza Maulion, James Millena, Ma. Theresa Ramos, and Ranier Sichon, and their lawyer Felix Vinluan.

They were indicted on March 22, 2007 even after the state’s education department cleared them in September 2006 of any wrongdoing.

Jeffrey Hammond, spokesman of New York’s health department, said the nursing home was fully staffed when the Filipino nurses resigned en masse, contrary to the claim of its owners that they abandoned their patients who were children and a disabled who were hooked on mechanical ventilators to breathe.

They quit after complaining for months about breaches in the contract they had with Sentosa Care’s recruitment agency in the Philippines involving pay differences, working hours and benefits.

“The shifts were covered and patients were not placed in jeopardy,” Newsday quoted Hammond as saying.
