Posted by

 FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR PAs WHO MAY ASSESSMENT AND/OR TREATMENT FOR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS.

Do not let financial need deter you from seeking treatment for addiction.  Financial assistance is available for those who might not otherwise be able to afford assessment and treatment.

Kober Treatment Grants

Managed by the NCAPA Endowment, this fund was established in 1998 by NCAPA’s then-president, Charlie Kober. This fund is specifically for impaired PAs.  The PA Liaison to NCPHP will make recommendations to the NCAPA Endowment for these grants when financial need is identified.

NCPHP Treatment Scholarships

Managed by the NC Medical Society Foundation, these scholarships are available to help financially challenged practitioners gain entry to a treatment facility when sufficient funds might not otherwise be available.  Information and applications are available online at http://www.ncphp.org/scholarships/

Donations to support these funds are needed and appreciated.

To make a donation specifically to support PAs, make a check payable to the

NCAPA Endowment and mail it to:

The Winston-Salem Foundation

751 West Fourth Street, Suite 200

Winston-Salem, NC 27101-2702

You must specify Kober Treatment Grant in the memo line of your check, otherwise it shall be placed in general fund and shall not be earmarked for PAs who may need help with financial help related to recovery.

THANKS!!!
