From Queens Chronicle: NYC H+H doctors protest time cuts
"Unionizing gives me and my colleagues a voice in our workplace, control over our lives, and the ability to advocate for our patients. The future of medicine depends on doctors working together in unions to stand up for ourselves and to advocate for our patients."
— Matt Hoffman, MD, Family Medicine, Vadnais Heights, MN
Our services
Doctors Council works for its members.
We advocate on behalf of our patients in and outside of the workplace, volunteering our time and resources on important political and community issues.
We protect and strengthen our members’ voices in the places where we work and in healthcare.
We win strong contracts and fight for their enforcement through labor management meetings, grievances, and arbitrations when necessary.
Through the Collaboration Councils we work in innovative partnerships with administration to identify and implement quality improvement projects in some of the largest public health systems in the nation.
We also administer supplemental benefits for our members through welfare and benefit plans as well as additional benefits through SEIU.
Why join?
We empower ourselves to fight for our patients both inside and outside of the workplace, spending our time and resources to strengthen our communities.
We strive to protect and maximize our professional autonomy, reduce barriers to care, and build a more sustainable profession so we can do what we love most–serve our patients.
