congrats on a BIG WIN ! I am not generally a "union guy" but this may be the best way to improve our specialty. The wage gains are great, but in general I am most interested in the specifics of the safety conditions and resources clauses.

Dr Adelman - do you have the data on how many ED's in Providence and the breakdown on employed, single hospital group, CMG ?

As a large "not for profit (LOL)" system Providence could be a great starting point to roll up the various ED's and rid our specialty of boarding patients and inadequate staffing.

Hi David,

Providence Health System has a mix of EM employers. Some are in-housed (like Medford), some are TeamHealth, many are regional physician-owned partnerships. A list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lmN2bKGQFRwlt2dHPtWrn2KsCKwl9bq83OslWl9BbkE/edit?usp=sharing
