PHYSICIANS COUNCIL
Physicians Giving, Granting and Healing
About the Physicians Council
The Physicians Council is a group of over 120 physicians who have chosen to make a commitment to being active partners with the Foundation to leave a lasting physician legacy of care for patients in the community.
-
We are building a physician legacy through philanthropy to ensure that future physicians can address the needs of patients within our health system.
-
We are addressing unmet community needs currently threatening the health of our communities.
-
We are engaging other physicians who might be interested in joining us in making a lasting impact on the needs of those we serve.
-
To date, the Physicians Council has awarded more than $1 million in grants for programs that serve the homeless, teens with autism spectrum disorders, people with chronic mental illness and for the vulnerable in acute care ministries.
