PHS also provides a safe environment where physicians can talk to
other physicians about the stress and demands of modern medical
practice. Issues often relate to:
- Stress of managing a practice
- Coping with a competitive work environment
- Financial pressures
- Dealing with administrative burdens
- Work-family balance
“PHS continues to dedicate itself to the challenge of restoring
physicians with substance dependency and behavior health problems to
full recovery. In the majority of instances we continue to succeed in
our efforts through monitoring, support, and advocacy. Our success in no
small part is the result of the staff of PHS, our director, and the
associate directors of the Program. They have all dedicated themselves
to the challenges of serving the medical professionals who turn to us. I
remain extremely proud of my affiliation with PHS and consider it as one
of the finest and most beneficial programs of its kind.”
