The Doctors Company Foundation

About The Doctors Company Foundation

The Foundation was created in 2008 by The Doctors Company, the nation’s largest insurer of medical liability for physicians, surgeons, and other health professionals. 

The purpose of the Foundation is to support patient safety research, forums, and pilot programs; patient safety education programs; and medical liability research. Charitable grants will be considered for qualified entities or individuals whose projects support the Foundation's goal to reduce patient risk and improve the environment in which doctors and all health care providers practice.

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.
