Welcome to The Physicians Foundation website. We hope you enjoy learning about the Foundation and its grantmaking programs.
The Physicians Foundation's purpose is to advance the work of practicing physicians and to improve the quality of healthcare for all Americans. The Foundation is unique in its commitment to working with physicians nationwide to create a more efficient and equitable healthcare system.
Physicians and their practices face tremendous pressures and stress today as they struggle to deal with new and expensive technology, changes in reimbursements, and information overload.
The Physicians Foundation was founded in 2003 through settlement of a class-action lawsuit brought by physicians and medical associations against private third-party payors.
