Protecting Integrity and Trust in Medicine
Overview
For good reason, the public has steadily lost faith in the medical profession over the last several decades. As the health care system has been yielded to large corporations, a business ethic threatens our foundational ethic of care. Corporate influences have compromised the doctor-patient relationship and medical organizations have unfortunately been complicit in this unraveling. The National Physicians Alliance is founded to restore trust in the medical profession by refocusing medicine on our core values: service, integrity and advocacy. The NPA not only represents doctors, but also collaborates with patients and strictly refuses financial entanglements with the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries. We aim to regain our patients' trust by earning it. The NPA believes that patients should never have to doubt the motives of their doctors.
