OhioPHP

What OhioPHP does

OhioPHP (Ohio Professionals Health Program, Inc.) is a Columbus, Ohio-based nonprofit founded in 1995 that delivers confidential well-being services to licensed healthcare professionals across the state. Its core offerings include comprehensive well-being screenings, confidential therapeutic monitoring (with toxicology testing and peer-monitor oversight over multi-year agreements), community resource referrals through a treatment-provider network, mental health and substance use support, and structured education programs including free continuing education. The organization also operates "Safe Haven Programs" under formal partnerships with at least twelve Ohio regulatory and licensing boards (covering nursing, psychology, chemical dependency, EMS, OT/PT/athletic trainers, peace officers, veterinarians, vision professionals, pharmacy, chiropractic, dental, and SMBO CMP), providing a confidential alternative to regulatory disciplinary action.

The organization is a pure services nonprofit with no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capabilities, and no software products; all service delivery is performed by human case managers, peer monitors, and contracted treatment providers. Its business model is donation-supported, with services offered at no direct cost to participating healthcare professionals; supplementary funding flows from regulatory board contracts and educational programming. The go-to-market motion is community-led: healthcare professionals self-refer or are referred by colleagues, employers, and concerned parties, with outreach amplified through content marketing (blog, OhioPHP Quarterly newsletter), social channels (Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube), and education presentations to healthcare organizations.

Headcount is in the 11-50 range, the operating footprint is single-state (Ohio), and there are no public funding rounds, M&A, or leadership-change disclosures in the source material. The organization markets a 90% five-year monitoring completion rate without relapse as its primary outcome metric, positioning itself as a long-tenured (30+ years) trust intermediary between distressed clinicians and Ohio's professional licensing system.
