The PeaceHealth Southwest Professionals (PHSW Pros) are a unit of healthcare workers at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver, Washington, who won their union in 2025 after organizing around concerns with staffing, working conditions, and the long-term direction of patient care. Their campaign has centered on the understanding that the conditions healthcare workers face are directly tied to the quality and accessibility of care patients receive, shaping everything from wait times to the ability to retain experienced staff.
Since then, they have been bargaining their first contract, a process marked by delays and resistance from management on core issues like safe staffing, fair compensation, and workplace protections. With limited progress at the table, the campaign has moved into a more public phase, with rallies and community outreach aimed at building pressure and making clear that this fight is not just about one group of workers, but about the future of healthcare in the region.
We will keep things updated here as they happen, and be sure to check our complete list of bargaining updates, upcoming events, news, videos, and social media in the coming weeks.
