The vision of Colorado Physician Health Program is a healthy Colorado through the well-being of Colorado physicians and physician assistants.
Our Mission
The mission of Colorado Physician Health Program is to promote the health and well-being of physicians and physician assistants through evaluation, treatment referral, support, education and research.
40 years of peer assistance
CPHP was founded in March 1986, as a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.
The Denver Medical Society, the Colorado Medical Society and Colorado Physicians Insurance Company (COPIC) were instrumental in establishing CPHP and continue their support of the program.
What the Medical Community is Saying About CPHP
CPHP continues to play an important role at our hospital when physician health issues surface.
I must say specifically that CPHP has helped with a variety of questionable health issues, known health issues, physician stress and anxiety, substance abuse, behavioral concerns, boundary issues, work/family balance, personal and family stressors and personal loss.
We are also grateful to CPHP as they have provided general education regarding stress in the workplace, how to identify possible substance abuse, and the multitude of services provided which have been most helpful to our physicians.
