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 ✊

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?
