Tom Maschoff

The First Choice Health Physician Assistance Program is led by Tom Maschhoff, LMHC, who has over twenty years experience in developing and implementing EAP services for business and industry. Tom is recognized as a local and national leader in the EAP industry. Tom is also a pioneer in the development of Physician Assistance Programs, having designed and introduced the first PAP in the Pacific Northwest.

"As one of the First Choice Health Network's service divisions, our Physician Assistance Program is owned by eleven hospitals and over 450 physicians and group practices. I believe our ownership by physicians and hospitals gives us a significant advantage over our competitors by allowing us to better understand and more effectively address the unique needs and problems facing physicians and their families."
