| Physician Health Services (PHS) is a
non-profit corporation founded by the MMS that provides confidential
consultation and support to physicians, residents and medical students
facing health concerns related to: |
|
- Alcoholism
- Substance abuse
- Behavioral or mental health issues
- Physical illness
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.”
