Get the Facts

This site provides factual information about unionization and representation to help you make informed decisions. While we respect our physicians' and advanced practice clinicians' (APCs) right to organize, we believe a direct relationship best supports open communication and collaboration. We encourage you to learn about all aspects of representation before making a decision.

Employers are required by law to only share facts, opinions, and experiences when discussing unionization. Unlike NWMU, we can’t make promises we might not be able to keep. This site is dedicated to informing our caregivers and providing you with all of the facts about unionization because we believe it’s important for you—our caregivers—to have all the facts before making such an important decision.

Providence Swedish –
Our Philosophy

At Providence Swedish, our patients are at the heart of everything we do, and we understand that to deliver clinical excellence and compassionate care, we have to be there for our caregivers as well.

Our team works to foster an inclusive workplace where caregivers of differing backgrounds and perspectives can experience a community of mutual respect, inclusivity and collegiality, and know unequivocally that diversity is valued. We are committed to providing our caregivers with best-in-class benefits and compensation packages that reflect the high level of patient care they bring to the bedside every day.

Our roots as the community’s partner in health run deep: For decades, we’ve joined forces with countless organizations to address homelessness, food insecurity, domestic violence, addiction and chronic illness. In the past five years, Providence Swedish has invested more than $1 billion to improve the health and bring a deeper sense of well-being to our more vulnerable community members.
