Legacy Contributors
Thanks to our founding Legacy Contributors – the Massachusetts Medical Society, Coverys, and CRICO – PHS was transformed more than 20 years from a committee of volunteers to a professionally run 501(c)3 organization. The yearly, ongoing support of our Legacy Contributors comprises approximately 2/3 of our operating budget, and forms the foundation that has helped us become one of the leading Physician Health Programs in the US.

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.
