Community Investment
For 45 years, The Doctors Company has been committed to advancing the practice of good medicine and building healthy communities, improving access to healthcare, and addressing the social determinants of health through our three community investment programs. Our commitment is reflected in the financial and volunteer contributions of our employees, corporate charitable donations that directly support communities where we work, and patient safety research and education grants for healthcare professionals in training and in practice through The Doctors Company Foundation.

“We are advocates for the health of the entire community—in and out of the clinical setting.”
What Are Social Determinants of Health?
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.
SDOH can be grouped into 5 domains:
Featured Story: Food Insecurity
When the COVID-19 pandemic increased food insecurity, The Doctors Company employees increased their community contributions.

Corporate Charitable Giving Program

We are committed to reflecting the values of our members and employees, partnering with 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations in the communities in which we have a significant presence. Our investments aim to address the social determinants of health—creating environments that promote good health for all.

Employee Gift Matching Program
The employees of The Doctors Company consistently demonstrate their generosity to the causes they care most about, and this community investment program reflects these values. The Doctors Company offers its employees a way to increase both the impact of their charitable giving and their volunteer efforts through our Employee Gift Matching Program. A TDCSU employee recently said, “Thank you again for allowing us to support organizations that we believe in. They need us now more than ever.”
