More than 400 US doctors end their lives each year by suicide. It's the second leading cause of death for young physicians exceeded only by accidents. Doctor Lifeline works to improve the toxic practice environments that veritably kill our doctors. Doctors kill themselves at a rate more than twice that of the general population. You can help us change that.

Doctor Steven A. Reid, the founder of Doctor Lifeline, personally knew at least 6 physicians who died by suicide over the course of his 40 year neurosurgery career. He recognized the systemic factors contributing to this tragic state of affairs and started Doctor Lifeline to fix them.
