New survey: 65% of physicians say today's healthcare delivery systems don't adequately support patients with chronic conditions. Physicians say patients would benefit from system-level changes such as: • More time for counseling on drivers of health • Better access to stable housing • The ability to prescribe healthy food • Stronger connections to community resources Learn more: physiciansfoundation.org/research/food-…

More than 3 in 4 physicians encounter patients at least monthly whose #ChronicDisease care is compromised by a lack of access to healthy food. Nearly 1 in 4 see daily. Clinical excellence can't fully compensate for unmet drivers of health like #FoodInsecurity.

The barriers affecting a patient's health don't always begin in the exam room. When #physicians can identify a challenge but lack the tools to address it, the impact can be felt by both patients and clinicians. Understanding #physicianwellbeing requires understanding the realities of patient care. Explore the research: physiciansfoundation.org/surveys/

57% of physicians report feelings of anger, tearfulness, or anxiety, according to The Physicians Foundation's 2025 Survey of America's Physicians. This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we recognize physician mental health as an essential workforce issue. Persistent distress contributes to workforce instability, threatens continuity of care, and places strain on the patient-physician relationship that patients depend on.
