Helping physicians, PAs, veterinarians, registered veterinary technicians, and their families.

NCPHP is the only organization in North Carolina for physicians, physician assistants, veterinarians, and registered veterinary technicians offering identification, intervention, and rehabilitation programs that are non-disciplinary and confidential in practice. NCPHP can be differentiated from other programs for impairment because state and federal legislation provide or allow for:

• Immunity from liability for hospitals while performing peer review functions
• Confidentiality ensuring the practitioner’s identity is protected if patient care has not been affected
• Advocacy for successful participants with the NC Medical Board, NC Veterinary Medical Board, insurance companies, employers, families, and others
• Leverage of the NC Medical Board or NC Veterinary Medical Board’s authority in licensing when the referred practitioner’s impairment is confirmed and their denial places them in imminent danger to themselves or their patients
• A monitoring process that contributes to the high recovery rate
• Financial assistance for indigent participants
