Going on strike was not a decision our providers made lightly. After months of negotiations, LifeLong providers are taking collective action to address concerns about workload, staffing, and patient care. 💙 #PatientCare #CommunityHealth

160+ LifeLong doctors, NPs, PAs & providers strike Monday, Sept 28 📣 After months of stalling at the table, we're fighting for safe staffing and workload protections so East Bay patients get the care they deserve. Rally with us at William Jenkins Health Center, 11am–1pm 💙

Yesterday, LifeLong providers and allies picketed at six East Bay health centers to make their voices heard. 💙 Patients deserve quality care, and providers deserve the conditions to deliver it. A strike authorization vote is underway. 👀 Stay tuned for updates. 📣

For months, LifeLong providers have brought proposals to the bargaining table to address working conditions—including patient panel transparency, safe staffing and protecting professional judgment. Because when providers have the support to care for patients, the whole East Bay benefits ✊

We enjoyed hosting Sara Hernandez, Esq., candidate for California State Senate in Los Angeles, this weekend! Meeting with policymakers is vital to advocating for our profession and our patients. Thank you to all who joined a conversation on access to care and the physician workforce ✊

This Labor Day, we celebrate the people who keep our communities moving and the power we have when we stand together ✊ Workers don’t have to accept the status quo. When we organize, speak up, and stand together, our individual concerns become collective power 📣

More than 240 physicians and APPs have voted YES to form the first ever union at Banner ✊ We are proud to stand by our primary care clinicians as they reclaim their voice in the workplace. Next stop: the bargaining table—where we will fight for a contract that puts patients and clinicians first.

UC attending physicians should have a voice in decisions impacting patient care. As physicians across the UC health system organize, we’re building a collective voice to advocate for our patients, our profession, and the care we provide. Join our town hall Monday, Aug. 24 at 7 PM to learn more!

This election is advocacy for our clinicians, our patients, and our patients. It's not about being against Banner. It's about primary care where clinicians can show up for patients without sacrificing their well-being, and speak up without fear of retaliation. #unionyes

Every clinician remembers why they chose primary care. For Dr. Elizalde, it was connecting with patients through their hardest and healthiest moments. Now that's slipping away, buried in inboxes, shrinking time, decisions made without them. Ballots due soon. #unionyes

Burnout shouldn't be part of the job. It's what happens when you lose control over the work you love. Across Banner, clinicians are standing up to reclaim their professional autonomy -- for their patients and their well-being. Ballots are due back this week! Don't let your vote go uncounted. 📣

Nearly 3 decades as an NP and Candace Napier has watched Banner Health clinicians lose their power as individuals to speak up and be heard. If a system doesn't value the voices of their clinicians, what level of patient care can patients expect?

No physician wakes up & decides to unionize overnight. It comes after months of trying everything else first. As Dr. Justin Watkins shares, there were only 3 options left. Over 100 providers have chosen to stand together. Ballots are coming soon, review the instructions carefully to cast your vote 🗳️

With 30+ years working non-union and union roles in healthcare, Traci knows what's on the line. Perspective over the years means knowing what works, recognizing what needs to change, and understanding that the best decisions are made when the people closest to patient care have a voice.

Hilary knows that voting #unionyes won't fix everything overnight. But it'll get the conversation moving in the right direction. APPs at Fred Hutch have the chance to vote for a future where their voices will help shape the work they do every day. Vote #unionyes for the career you want to build. 🗳️

For Rachel, voting #unionyes is protecting the values that brought so many clinicians here: compassionate care, groundbreaking innovation, and a voice for the ones who deliver that care every day. Preserving a legacy and forwarding the mission takes all of us.

This is a setback for training and public health in Western New York. Patients needing specialized care will face fewer local options, longer waits, and more travel. When training programs disappear, access and workforce capacity both suffer.

When the largest healthcare system in Arizona punishes a physician for doing her job, it doesn't just affect the physician. It affects their patients, coworkers, and everyone at the organization. It sends a message that if you dare speak up, there will be consequences. Learn more 🔗 uapd.com/arizona
