The WV Medical Professionals Health Program encourages & accepts self-referrals. Self-referrals are well received and highly recommended, as preemptively seeking assistance demonstrates a willingness to address a potential issue before patient care is potentially impacted. Medical Professionals can self-refer to the WVMPHP and remain anonymous to their licensure board, provided they follow direction, have not already been reported to their licensure board, have legal consequences and are not a danger to themselves or others. We also accept referrals from hospitals, employers, staff, colleagues, family, friends, treatment facilities, licensure boards, or other state physician health programs.
Who can make referrals:
- Hospitals
- Employers
- Colleagues
- Staff
- Family
- Friends
- Treatment facilities
- Healthcare Providers
- Licensure Boards
- Training Institutions
- Other State Licensure Boards
- Other State Physician Health Programs
*Anyone with a concern can make a confidential referral to the WVMPHP.
*All referral sources are kept as strictly confidential to the maximum extend provided by law.
If you are in need of assistance and guidance…..or if you suspect potential impairment of a physician, podiatrist, physician assistant, medical student or resident….. or you have concerns for their safety or the safety of their patients, please do not hesitate to contact us. All calls are CONFIDENTIAL.
