Who We Are

Physicians for Reform is a non-profit organization founded by Dr. C. L. Gray in December of 2006 to find solutions for American healthcare. Working together, physicians, patients, and the business community can recapture the heart of medicine and secure a political platform to reform American healthcare.

The loss of the patient/physician relationship is central to the decline of medicine we face today. America offers the most sophisticated healthcare in the world. Yet, neither patient nor physician is content.

Patients in America view physicians with growing distrust. They often schedule appointments months in advance only to get five minutes with a doctor they don’t know. Physicians view patients as potential plaintiffs. Trapped by forms, litigation, and a bewildering array of regulations, they contemplate abandoning the practice of medicine altogether.

Physicians for Reform provides solutions to this escalating dilemma.

Mission Statement:

Physicians for Reform is a 501-(c)(4) non-profit, non-partisan, advocacy group designed to organize physicians, patients, and the business community in an effort to shape the nation’s healthcare debate. It seeks to keep the patient’s welfare the central focus of medicine, not the fluctuating interests of government. Specifically, Physicians for Reform seeks to:

1. Make health insurance affordable for every American.
2. Place the patient at the center of American healthcare.
3. Reduce the cost of healthcare without restricting access.
4. Reform today’s broken medical/legal system.
5. Restore the patient/physician relationship.

Using non-tax-deductible charitable donations, Physicians for Reform will underwrite educational materials, seminars, advertising, and media promotions on healthcare issues, and testify at governmental hearings to advocate these positions.
