Physicians

As healthcare has become more of a business nationwide, more physicians have recognized the necessity of forming a union with AFSCME to ensure that physicians have meaningful involvement in decisions at all levels of healthcare. In hospitals, public healthcare institutions, and clinics nationwide, AFSCME physicians act to promote constructive labor-management relations. In a system where increasingly bureaucratic organizations disregard the needs of patients, joining together in AFSCME ensures that physicians have a voice to advocate on behalf of their patients. AFSCME physicians are leading the way toward a patient-centered, practitioner-led healthcare system.
