Union of American Physicians and Dentists

We haven’t even reached the bargaining table and change is already underway ✊ This is only the beginning. Stay connected, stay informed, and keep pushing for what matters most: a workplace that supports the people who care for our patients 💙

We were proud to sponsor the 2nd annual UC Latino Physician Consortium, bringing physicians, medical students, residents, fellows, and alumni together to advance Latino health and healthcare access. It was also great connecting with Governor Candidate Xavier Becerra ✊

We’re proud to endorse Adam Bojak for New York State Assembly ✊ The health of our communities depends on expanding access to high quality healthcare and on ensuring the healthcare providers who care for our communities have the resources and support they need.

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 ✊

Today, we take a moment for the physicians who are struggling, the colleagues we have lost, and the importance of caring for one another 💙

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the countless people whose lives were forever changed ❤️ We will never forget. 🇺🇸

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.

As we approach our ballot count for the primary care clinicians at Banner Health, here's a quick recap about our union drive! #1u #healthcare #union #healthcareunions #arizona

#ICYMI, news stories detailing our union drive for clinicians at Banner Health's primary care clinics throughout the greater Phoenix area! Be sure to checkout the story as to what's happening and why it matters for the state of Arizona.

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?

What prompted the clinicians at Banner Health’s primary clinics to unionize? Dr. Justin Watkins shares why he contacted us last year 💬 #1u #healthcareunions #unionelection #unionyes #doctors

To Dr. Lea's patients, supporters, and community 💙 Thank you for your kind words and support. Please visit azdo.gov to find out where she'll be practicing! #1u #solidarity #union #healthcareunion

Ballots are currently on the way! 🗳️ Jason Collier, PA-C, who's been at Banner Health for more than 25 years, has an important message for you 📣

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 🗳️

Today's the day! The National Labor Relations Board is officially mailing out ballots to more than 200 physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants at Banner Health's primary care clinics to vote on whether to form a union 🗳️ #1u #unionelection

Toby's story is a powerful reminder that the strength of our care depends on the dignity of our caregivers. #voteunionyes

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.

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. 🗳️

This Independence Day, we celebrate the power of community, solidarity, and the voices that help build a more justice and equitable future for all 🇺🇸

Every organizing drive has a driving force behind it. Sam watched the system change over the years and the toll it took on her colleagues. She decided enough was enough and took the first step herself to fix the broken system. #unionyes

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.

After Angie lost her father to cancer, she made the decision to pursue a second career dedicated to caring for patients and their families facing the hardest moments of their lives. Voting #unionyes is about protecting the space to have difficult conversations with dignity, care, and humanity 💙

Voting #unionyes is about not giving up on the place Leslie's dedicated her career to. It's about making sure it remains a place where future generations of clinicians can thrive ✊

Every clinician has their own reason for why they're voting #unionyes. The polls open at 7 am on both July 8 and 9, with three voting time slots each day 🗳️ Make your voting plan today ✊

The moment we've been working toward is almost here ✊ In less than two weeks, clinicians at Fred Hutch will cast their votes for union representation and decide whether to come together with a collective voice for the patient care standards and working conditions that cancer patients depend on 🗳️

More than 240 physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants at Banner Health in Arizona have filed to unionize 📣 They're coming together to protect patient care and secure a voice in the decisions that affect their patients, their profession, and healthcare in the state. ✊

Today, we honor the fathers and father figures who care for their families with the same dedication they bring to their patients and communities every day. Your commitment makes a difference not only at home, but in the lives of the patients and their loved ones who count on your care 💙 #fathersday

Today we honor the courage of the freedom fighters who changed history. We reflect on the pursuit of justice and celebrate the achievements, excellence, and joy Black Americans have contributed to this nation. Juneteenth reminds us the work continues. ✊

Something powerful is happening in Washington state 📣 250 nurse practitioners and physician assistants at Fred Hutch, University of Washington, and Seattle Children's have filed to unionize ✊

LGBTQIA+ patients deserve to be seen—fully, wholly, as they are. Too many delay care because healthcare hasn't felt safe. This Pride Month, we commit to being the exception. Affirming care saves lives 🏳️‍🌈 #pride

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.

The results are in: pediatricians at Packard Children’s Health Alliance, affiliated with Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, have WON their union election 🎉✊ Every day, they care for children and families. Today, they stood together to strengthen the future of pediatric care.
