Caring for Physician Health Campaign
The most effective form of support is peer-to-peer. This concept is the cornerstone upon which PHS was founded — “by physicians for physicians.” Philanthropic support plays a pivotal role in PHS’s stability and much-needed growth. Please consider supporting your colleagues by contributing to PHS. PHS preserves physicians’ health, which can result in medical license retention and improved health care for all.
The success of PHS and its ability to restore physicians’ health and well-being is centered on a partnership with those who support the services we provide. By donating to PHS, you can feel assured that your contribution is directly related to one or more of the following efforts:
- Confidential assessment, support, consultation, and monitoring for medical students, residents, and physicians in Massachusetts
- The development of resources for increasing referrals for substance abuse, mental health concerns, and physical illness and expanding behavioral health services
- Critical research needed to document outcomes of and successful strategies for physician health treatment
- Increasing educational offerings, including courses, newsletters, and lectures throughout the state
- Support groups for physicians and medical students
- Improving the personal and professional lives of those we serve
- Expanding the role of PHS into the domain of physician wellness, self-care, and peer support
All donations will be recognized in the PHS Annual Report, with your permission. Share the benefits of physician health with your colleagues. Invite them to donate.
