Medical Professional Health Program

Located in Manchester Maine, the Medical Professionals Health Program(MPHP) is a program of the Maine Medical Association. Overseen by a peer review committee, the MPHP assists healthcare professionals who are struggling with substance abuse, mental health and behavioral issues, as well as stress and burnout by providing confidential and compassionate monitoring, support, and advocacy. We welcome those who are voluntarily seeking assistance before licensing is impacted, as well as those who have been referred or mandated by Maine's regulatory licensing Boards to participate with MPHP to maintain or regain licensure
