Doctors Council SEIU

Doctors Council SEIU Doctors Council: A United Voice for Doctors, Our Patients, & the Communities We Serve. It’s a role we take seriously, and one we’re proud of.

We are the Doctors Council - the country's largest and oldest union of attending physicians. We believe in quality, affordable, and safe health care as a basic human right and social good, accessible to all, regardless of insurance, economic status, ability to pay, race, ethnicity, citizenship or residency status, language spoken, or diagnosis. In a time when health care is rapidly transforming, i

t is our mission to ensure that the voices of frontline doctors and our patients are heard and respected when decisions about health care delivery are made. As advocates for our patients, we reach out into the communities where we work to enhance the doctor-patient relationship and ensure that our patients’ voices are heard, and that our patients are involved in their care decisions. Increasingly, we serve as advocates on behalf of all the people whose lives we touch when they need care. We work to ensure equal and timely access to patient care services in our communities, and work to remove barriers to or disparities in health care, especially in low-income, medically underserved, immigrant, and communities of color. In our traditional role as a doctors' union, we work to win contracts that recognize the valuable work of our members, improve the patient care experience, and create an environment where doctors and patients are treated with dignity and respect.

“Patients should ‘vote with their feet’ if UH continues punitive response to unionization efforts”

UH leadership needs to be held accountable for its shameful attempts to stifle physician unionization efforts. If UH does not change course, its tax-exempt status should be challenged, and its patients should vote with their feet and transfer their care elsewhere, writes a Cleveland physician in a l...

“Across the US healthcare workers work in these organisations that increasingly are run by executives, not by people that have medical experience or medical knowledge,” he says.“You have less voice: you have less voice over decisions that affect your patients, you certainly have less voice over decisions that affect you and your coworkers and your ability to practise medicine.”

Growing numbers of US physicians are joining unions, seeing them as a way to regain autonomy in the face of the corporatisation of healthcare. Ella Hubbard reports “They somehow found a way to upset every single physician in the hospital,” says Bryan Haimes, explaining why he and several hundred...
