Welcome to Physician Support Services
We are here to serve the doctors of Florida Hospital
Physician Support Services (PSS) is a service designed to support and provide whole person care to Florida Hospital physicians and their families. This care involves specialized spiritual, emotional and professional resources aimed at maximizing the personal and professional well being of physicians and their families. We do this by providing direct confidential physician support, physician centered therapy, integrating physician life CME's, and meaning and pleasure based trips including an annual CME Ski Trip, Leadership Retreat, Physician in Concert, and Physician/Spouse Marriage Retreats. Always, families are included as they are a major part of who physicians are.
At PSS We Strive to:
- Reconnect physicians to a sense of meaning and purpose that proceeds naturally from the practice of medicine, but which is also easily eclipsed in the current climate of health care.
- Promote a balanced lifestyle involving body, mind and soul, and the integration of personal and professional lives.
- Provide psychological services to treat emotional conditions.
- Share resources and tools to enhance personal and professional relationships.
- Engage in scholarly research designed to increase the understanding of physician health.
Below is a quick video summary of the services we provide physicians and their families:
