I’m very proud of what our executive board has been able to accomplish in our affiliation with CIR and winning a massive new contract. Excited to see what our leaders will accomplish in the future!
Sean Li, SDHSA Co-President
I believe that physicians in general do not do a good job talking about finances or salary transparency. I believe that financial literacy can lead to improved physician wellness and less burnout. Therefore, I am happy that our team was able to push for a more livable wage and other benefits in this new contract.
