In turbulent times, healthcare professionals are often the hardest hit. Selfcare is more important now than ever before. MPHP/MSMA is pleased to offer some tools to help lower stress, calm the mind, and ultimately lessen the likelihood of burnout.
The MPHP is a confidential first-line resource for early detection of potential impairment in physicians and other licensed health care professionals who suffer from potentially impairing conditions such as substance use disorders. The MPHP coordinates effective detection, evaluation, treatment, and aftercare monitoring of addictive disorders and other psychiatric illnesses. We also assist professionals with disruptive behavioral problems and other conditions such as physical disability or deterioration through the process of aging.
Our primary focus is on intervention and recovery, with long-term, intensive monitoring. The anonymity of our program encourages self-referrals and early intervention, which protects patients and saves our participants’ careers. Additionally, participants in the program benefit from advocacy for malpractice insurance carriers, hospitals, and licensure boards.
