We recognize the crushing work load that physicians face today that only adds to an already challenging job. This membership benefit program was created to serve Idaho's physicians and other medically licensed professionals. Members of the following participating organizations may request appointments by clicking above.
ConfidentialityOur mental health providers (MHPs) are sensitive to keeping your personal and professional reputation intact. Your participation in this program is completely voluntary and confidential and may not be mandated as a condition of employment. The only person besides yourself who knows you utilized the program is the MHP (aside from their internal staff): no one from the medical society, employer, Board of Medicine/Nursing will be notified of your name if you choose to participate.
