Healing The Healer Foundation

The purpose of this program is to enhance the well-being of physicians as human beings. The Society has established this foundation to offer free support and confidential counseling in a private setting. The increasing stresses of medical practice has made this program an essential addition to our support services.

A myriad of pressures, difficult to resolve alone, can make doctors feel demoralized and emotionally exhausted.  Through the PCMS Healing the Healer foundation, a professional counselor can help them cope and tap back into their natural resilience.  We understand that sometimes unintended consequences arise when seeking help.

The foundation offers this solution as completely private, does not involve any employer or employer program, has no paper trail back to the person seeking help, and is completely self-referred.  The foundation will pay for up to 6 hours of sessions for a member physician.   This differs from other organizations that act on complaints from patients or colleagues, and deal primarily with substance abuse.

This service requires funding to operate. Since we developed the program to assist physicians/students in the community, our hope is that fellow doctors/students will help by providing financial support.

Your contribution to this 501(c)(3) charitable foundation, PCMS Healing the Healer Foundation, is tax-deductible as allowed by law. We believe that there is a deeper, longer lasting benefit in knowing that you have invested in the health of your colleagues, and thereby their current and future patients.

While we urge doctors to donate generously, we also encourage them to take advantage of the program. Your Society has endeavored to create this for you, and as the best program in the world does no good if left unused, let us make full use of ours. The program is here for us now and will be in perpetuity – provided we fund it! Please do your part today and donate generously today.
