Imperial Beach Community Clinic Physicians Vote to Join NUHW — Rare Provider-Led Organizing at FQHC
Physicians, therapists, and nurse practitioners at Imperial Beach Community Clinic voted to join NUHW in January 2026. This is a rare provider-led organizing effort at an FQHC, driven by constant CEO/executive turnover, burnout from understaffing, and management retaliation against providers who wrote a public op-ed. The win signals that FQHC labor organizing is expanding beyond support staff to clinical providers.
