Providence and dozens of doctors at a hospital in Portland, Oregon, have reached a tentative agreement after 27 days of strike

Hospitalists and palliative care physicians at Providence’s largest hospital in Oregon reached a tentative contract agreement with the health system late Wednesday, a deal that could end the largest health care strike in state history if workers sign off.

Hundreds of striking workers line the road outside of Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, in Portland, Ore., Jan. 10, 2025. Thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday at all eight Providence hospitals in the state as well as six women’s clinics, including nurses, physicians and advanced practitioners.
