Conditions at Unity Health Care have prompted the union at the D.C.-based health care provider to authorize a strike.
According to the Union of American Physicians and Dentists — the union representing health care providers across the country — there have been “deteriorating workplace conditions” at Unity Health Care’s facilities in D.C.
Emily Zucker, a family medicine physician at Unity Health Care, told WTOP in an interview that “at least 30 providers have quit this year alone,” adding that extra pressure is put on doctors who are expected to see 24 patients a day in visits that are scheduled for 20 minutes each.
