Have you ever considered the difference between health, wellness, and well-being? Health refers to a person’s overall medical and psychiatric condition, including diagnoses. Wellness incorporates individualized practices that foster optimal health; and well-being encompasses both health and wellness in addition to your personal and work environment. One can have poor health, such as depression or cancer but practice robust wellness i.e., good nutrition, adequate sleep and solid support. Conversely, one can be technically healthy, without any medical illness, yet have poor wellness practices.
At the Colorado Physician Health Program (CPHP), we have spent decades focusing on all three. Since 1986, we have been the only organization in Colorado that addresses the full spectrum of well-being for physicians, physician assistants, and trainees—thanks to the support of friends like you.
As the pressures on our healthcare providers continue to grow, so does the importance of addressing their well-being. Beyond patient care, physicians and physician assistants are facing stress, burnout, and mental health challenges at unprecedented levels.
CPHP Cares for the Whole Person
While multiple wellness resources are available, CPHP stands out because we don’t just address symptoms—we care for the whole person. We focus on the mental, physical, and emotional health of our participants. We are proud to offer in-house evaluations from expert physician peers. Last year alone, our team helped 635 participants, and more than half of them came to us not because they had a diagnosed condition, but because they felt something wasn’t right with their well-being. That’s where we come in—supporting those early warning signs, before they become something more.
At CPHP, we offer more than just evaluations, assessments and treatment referrals. Through programs like Doc2Doc Wellbeing Consulting, we give medical licensees the opportunity to speak with peers who truly understand what they are going through. Whether the struggles are personal, professional, or related to burnout, we are here to help guide them toward healing and resilience.
Your contribution will make sure that Colorado’s physicians have the support they need, not just for their patients, but for themselves and their families. With your help, we can continue to prevent burnout, support mental health, and keep the passion for medicine alive in those who care for our communities.
You generosity will have a lasting impact on the well-being of those who keep our communities healthy. We truly believe that when doctors are well, they can give their best care—and together, we can make sure they have what they need to thrive.
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. The vision of the Colorado Physician Health Program is a healthy Colorado through the well-being of Colorado physicians and physician assistants.
CPHP is based in Denver. Our services are offered statewide.
The Colorado Physician Health Program (CPHP) is a nonprofit organization, independent of other medical organizations and the government. CPHP provides the peer assistance services for licensed physicians, physician assistants and anesthesiology assistants of Colorado. CPHP also has Training Program contracts to serve Resident, Medical Students and Physician Assistant Students. CPHP clients are assured confidentiality as required by law or regulation. Peer assistance services aid individuals who have any problems that would affect ones' health such as emotional, psychological or medical problems. For example, CPHP assists its clients with medical and/or psychiatric conditions (e.g. Alzheimer's disease, HIV infection, depression or substance abuse) as well as psychosocial conditions (e.g. family problems or stress related to work or professional liability difficulties).
CPHP provides diagnostic evaluation, treatment referral as well as treatment monitoring and support services. CPHP believes that early intervention and evaluation offer the best opportunity for a successful outcome and preventing the health condition from needlessly interfering with medical practice.
The Colorado Physician Health Program (CPHP) was founded in March 1986, as a non-profit [501(c)(3)] corporation. CPHP is governed by the Colorado Peer Assistance Act and is independent of other medical organizations and the state government. The Denver Medical Society, the Colorado Medical Society and Copic Insurance Company were instrumental in establishing CPHP and continue their support of the program. A Board of Directors that is comprised of leaders in the medical community governs CPHP.
