Changing Lives, Saving Careers
The North Carolina Professionals Health Program (NCPHP) was founded as a safe haven for medical professionals to get the help they need without fear of professional repercussions or public knowledge. NCPHP is dedicated to helping healthcare providers experience a lifetime of change and return to health. Our daily work is rooted in respect and support for our program participants and concern for the public. Together, we help medical professionals deliver their best care—because when they’re well, we’re all better.
Who We Serve
Healthcare professionals are dedicated guardians of their patients’ health but are often hesitant to seek help when facing their own challenges. NCPHP serves a wide range of North Carolina’s healthcare providers, including physicians, physician assistants, pharmacists, veterinarians, counselors, physical therapists, and their teams, who face challenges. We provide compassionate guidance, evaluation, and support to help these professionals recover, enabling them to safely and confidently continue their essential work in patient care.
How We Serve
NCPHP provides support and accountability to healthcare professionals facing challenges that affect their well-being and their ability to provide safe, effective care. Whether it’s substance use concerns, mental health challenges, burnout, or other stressors, our evaluation, referral, and support services help providers navigate the path to recovery.
Referrals
To make a referral, simply call our office to share your concerns about a provider with one of our clinical team members. If you would like to refer yourself, please call our office to schedule a confidential and private initial screening interview with one of our Directors, all of whom have years of experience working with professionals and are sympathetic to the challenges faced in today’s medical environment.
Monitoring
We may recommend monitoring which gives NCPHP the ability to support the provider to their respective licensure boards, employers, hospital, partners, and other parties that have a vested interest in a provider’s health and well-being. Monitoring is an effective tool to enable healthcare providers to return to work while protecting patient safety.
Confidentiality
NCPHP is the only North Carolina organization that can provide access to non-disciplinary and confidential programs for identification, intervention, and rehabilitation of potentially impairing conditions for medical professionals. NCPHP services are provided under the strictest anonymity and confidentiality afforded by the law.
