Annual Report | 32020 was a year of uncertainty and diculty for many due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The healthcare community was at the center of this public health crisis, working relessly to help their communies bale this virus. The OPHP Sta would like to extend our gratude to the healthcare community for their tremendous work. Unfortunately, the pandemic has exacerbated the already high rates of burnout among healthcare professionals. During 2020, OPHP saw a signicant increase in healthcare professionals seeking help, with over 300 referrals. I too, had experienced considerable burnout, aer working 15 years in an end-of-life Palliave Care posion. Lile did I know that my path would lead me to OPHP, and I would get to provide the very rewarding work that OPHP does. I have been blessed to serve as Medical Director alongside an excellent professional sta at OPHP. I am grateful for the leadership of our Board of Directors. We welcomed new members, Drs. Stephen R. Feagins and Jason E. Thuener in 2020. Chrisna Delos Reyes, M.D. nished her board term with OPHP in 2020. She served as OPHP Board Chair for 4 years and helped OPHP achieve great success over the past 9 years. Through her wonderful leadership, we have seamlessly transioned to new Board ocers with Dr. Melinda Ford serving as Board Chair beginning in 2021. My partner Dr. Opremcak and I, started with OPHP together in 2018. Her serving as the organizaon’s Wellness Director and me serving as Medical Director. It is a ng conclusion that we ended our healthcare careers together, serving OPHP. Dr. Opremcak rered in 2020 and I have also made the decision to rere this year. It is quite meaningful and serendipitous that the new incoming Medical Director is Dr. Richard Whitney. Dr. Whitney and I have worked together in many capacies and have had our paths cross in many ways over the course of our careers. I commend the Board on an excellent choice for OPHP’s new Medical Director.I wish OPHP all the success in the future and believe whole heartedly in the organizaon’s mission and vision to help serve the healthcare community in Ohio. I have been greatly honored for the opportunity to serve such a wonderful organizaon and for the overwhelming support received by our many stakeholders, volunteers, and donors.Craig T. Pra, M.D., DFASAM, FAPAMedical DirectorThe OPHP Sta would like to extend our gratude and thanks to the healthcare community for their tremendous work in the face of a global pandemic.
