We are all thinking about our futures, the future of our professions, the future of health care, the future of our hospitals and agencies, and the safe delivery of patient care.

We at UNAP think that our futures in health care and the future of health care in our country will be safer, brighter and more rewarding if all health care professionals have the rights and power that our union brings to the workplace, the legislature and the community. In the summer of 1998, 3,500 health professionals formed UNAP in the summer of 1998. Today, we represent 4,500 members in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Vermont.

We at UNAP believe that in order to achieve and reach beyond our goals as a professional health care union we must strive to assist our non-union health professionals in organizing into UNAP.

UNAP has made it a priority to improve our health care system, improve staffing levels, improve the workplace, and give workers a voice.

UNAP has made a strong commitment to organizing the non-union health care professionals in our health care facilities.
