The union representing Contra Costa County doctors said Monday it reached a contract agreement with the county.
The Physicians’ and Dentists’ Organization of Contra Costa, which represents more than 240 doctors in the county’s public health system, said its new agreement with county management was supported by 90 percent of voting members and approved by the county board of supervisors March 21.
The union said the agreement “avoids a historic strike which would have impacted operations throughout the county health system.”
The contract enhances the time doctors have to manage their panels of patients and also makes the compensation package more competitive in the Bay Area market.
It also addresses many issues PDOCC members brought up during negotiations, including high patient caseloads, insufficient time for administrative tasks, long waits for primary care appointments and specialty referrals, chronic short staffing and high turnover.
“Our new contract advances our goal of improving the ability of Contra Costa County to recruit and retain top medical and dental talent to best serve our communities,” said Dr. David MacDonald, the president of PDOCC. “We will continue advocating for the patient care issues we called attention to in our negotiations, but we are optimistic about our progress and path forward.”
It’s all about the dollars.Get the lazy people off of assistant’s and to work and earn there own way.This would take care of the so called overload of patients.No body is paying my way but me.Give give give.
A trans woman murdered innocent Christian children today. Anything else you hear from the media is desperate spin.

@Sam – I assume he was castrated. What else are you asking be done?
And all of CA. Gotta mutilate people to make money instead of treating them for their clear mental illness. .
Millions of illegals now qualify for free health care, and I’m willing to bet that a good percentage of the county’s doctors voted for Newsom.
