Our History

The Washington Physicians Health Program was founded in 1986 by a group of concerned members of the Washington State Medical Association (WSMA) who represented the “Committee on Personal Problems of Physicians.” The WSMA initially established the Washington Monitored Treatment Program with both the legislative and financial foundation to function as an independent, nonprofit organization. In 1993, the name was changed to the Washington Physicians Health Program. WPHP is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization under contract with the Department of Health to provide services for healthcare professionals. Virtually all hospitals, medical groups, dental groups, and veterinary groups in the state of Washington are well acquainted with WPHP’s staff, mission, and outcomes.
