Did you know financial stress is one of the biggest hidden contributors to physician burnout? 💭

That's why MSDC and the Healthy Physician Foundation created Prescription Wealth — a new initiative to help physicians, med students, and their loved ones build real financial confidence. Wellness starts with peace of mind.

Physicians are unique in their financial needs. Whether you are beginning your medical journey in medical school, or are looking at full-time retirement and legacy building, or in-between, your financial needs are unique from your peers.

Each September, we celebrate Women in Medicine Month, honoring the physicians who have shaped the profession through their time, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to patients.

Women now make up nearly half of all physicians in training, and their presence has transformed what compassionate, patient-centered care looks like across the District and the nation. From the exam room to leadership roles, women physicians continue to strengthen the bond between doctors and patients that Your Care is at Our Core is built to protect.

This month, we're recognizing the women physicians of DC — and the difference they make every day.
