Nurses sue two central Pa. health systems over secretive 'non-poach' worker recruitment agreement

Three registered nurses claim a secret “no-poach” agreement that existed between Geisinger and a hospital near Lewisburg affected their ability to earn a competitive salary. Their suit filed Wednesday against Geisinger and Evangelical Community Hospital is related to an anti-trust suit the federal government brought in August to stop Geisinger from acquiring 30 percent ownership of the Lewisburg area hospital.
