LifeBridge - Help for the Stressed Physician!

As physician burnout rates increase, BCMS has determined that it is imperative to provide a resource tool to its physician members to address this issue. For that reason, BCMS has launched the LifeBridge Physician Wellness Program in collaboration with an online counseling provider named BetterHelp.

All categories of members, including Active, Active First Year, Student, Resident, Military, Life and Retired are all eligible to receive one month of free personal counseling, including up to 4 live sessions and unlimited text/email messaging with a Texas-licensed counselor/therapist.
