About Us

Wellness – OhioPHP believes that the health and well-being of every healthcare professional is essential.  OHIOPHP strives to implement therapeutic interventions that serve as a gateway to improved health.

 

Confidentiality – OhioPHP supports confidential and compassionate care for all physicians and other healthcare professionals with illnesses that may impact their health and well-being.  OHIOPHP supports the use of confidential services whenever possible in lieu of regulatory awareness in order to eliminate fear of punishment, disciplinary action, embarrassment, or professional isolation. 

 

Equality – OhioPHP believes that the restriction of a medical license or specialty certification or membership exclusion from a professional organization should not be based solely on the presence or diagnosis of an illness. OHIOPHP opposes discrimination of physicians or other healthcare professionals at any time based upon a history of substance-related and addictive disorders, psychiatric illness, or other illnesses.

 

Patient Safety – OhioPHP believes that early detection, evaluation, and treatment of physicians and other healthcare professionals with substance-related and addictive disorders, psychiatric illness, or other illnesses is paramount to protect the public. Confidential monitoring and oversight of professionals with these conditions will ultimately enhance the health of the provider and preserve quality patient care. 

 

Education – OhioPHP believes education is fundamental in order to support the health and well-being of physicians and other healthcare professionals in Ohio.
