News Release

Media Advisory: Legacy’s Labor Crisis Deepens As GoHealth APPs Join Strike - 12/20/25

(Portland, Ore.) - APPs from Legacy GoHealth clinics will join their colleagues on the strike line for a two-day strike starting Sunday, December 21, signaling growing solidarity among advanced practice providers and escalating discontent across Legacy’s workforce.

 

WHAT: About 40 advanced practice providers (APPs) from Legacy GoHealth clinics will hold a two-day strike against Legacy Health on Sunday, Dec. 21 and Monday, Dec. 22. The strike comes as mediation between Legacy and the APPs from the adult specialties unit continues.

 

The APPs joining the strike include nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician associates (PAs) who are employed by Legacy but work in the private equity-owned GoHealth clinics. The APPs are from more than a dozen clinics throughout the Portland metro and Southwest Washington.

 

WHEN: The strike line will be operating on Sunday, Dec. 21 from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. Go Health APPs will be available for interviews from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.

 

WHERE: Legacy Good Samaritan, 1015 NW 22nd Ave, Portland; at the intersection of NW 22nd and NW Marshall

 

WHY: APPs from GoHealth won their union election in January 2025. Like their counterparts in the adult specialties unit, they are concerned about patient care, staffing, equity across the healthcare system and Legacy management’s refusal to bargain fairly.

 

The providers say many people who can’t access a primary care provider come to the clinics for basic healthcare. Patient needs vary drastically, while some can be treated during the allotted time, others require management of complex issues, making it difficult to stay on time in an already full appointment schedule. The work performed by APPs at GoHealth clinics is just as complex as that of APPs in the hospitals, but they are also paid well below market rates.

 

Pediatric APPs from Legacy will also be starting a two-day strike beginning Monday, December 22.

 

The Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) represents a diverse community of more than 24,000 nurses and healthcare professionals throughout Oregon. Together, we use our collective power to advocate for critical issues impacting patients, nurses and healthcare professionals including a more effective, affordable and accessible healthcare system; better working conditions for all healthcare professionals; and healthier communities.
