Doctors spoke out during Tuesday's Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors meeting, calling attention to what they describe as unsustainable working conditions.
The Paradise Clinic was once operated by Stanislaus County before being taken over by Golden Valley Health Centers about a year and a half ago. Since that transition, residents say the number of new doctors entering the program each year was cut from twelve to eight, reducing the total residency staff from 36 to just 24 by July 2026.
"By next July, we will be down from 36 resident doctors to just 24," Wong said. "The difference is that we're not seeing our patients again, that continuity is kind of lost effectively."
"We definitely want to provide the best care we can," said Dr. Cameron Perez. "But having that sleep deprivation and shifting back and forth from night shift can definitely decrease it overall."
Kayla Authelet, Northern California regional vice president with the union, says the staffing cuts are especially concerning.
Golden Valley Health Centers declined to comment but said VCME determines how many residents are accepted each year. Despite the reduction happening after Golden Valley took over the clinic, the organization maintains that the decision was made by VCME.
The Committee of Interns and Residents says those working at the Paradise Clinic earn between $15,000 and $20,000 less than residents in nearby programs.
