The Staff Assembly promotes the wellness and interests of UC Davis Health. We offer our employees a voice and provide opportunities for our internal community to get involved and stay informed on all things UC Davis Health.

Membership is open to three-quarter and full-time employees. In fact, when you accepted a position at UC Davis Health, you automatically became a member of Staff Assembly.

There are several ways to connect with colleagues, participate in Staff Assembly events and support the overall growth of UC Davis Health through this group.
