About The Doctors Company Foundation
The Foundation was created in 2008 by The Doctors Company, the largest national insurer of physician and surgeon medical liability. The purpose of the Foundation is to support patient safety and risk management research that has the potential for reducing patient risk and improving the environment in which all doctors practice.
The Foundation will consider supporting patient safety research, forums, and pilot programs, physician education programs, and medical liability research. Charitable grants will be considered for qualified entities or individuals that assist in carrying out the Foundation’s mission.
The Foundation is a charitable organization with 501(c)3 nonprofit status. It is governed by a nine-member Board of Directors that includes physicians and corporate representatives. The board is chaired by David B. Troxel, MD, who is also medical director at The Doctors Company.
