| "This program effectively removes a great deal of barriers for physicians to access the counseling they need. I think it's one of the best uses of resources to improve the well being of our docs in the community. This is a great resource and I'm happy to donate to this cause." -Justin Korinek, MD, Vituity ConvenientTo make an appointment, click on the GET HELP NOW BUTTON ABOVE to find a therapist.
