The program offers confidential, convenient, cost-free access to psychological services for CCMS members - up to 6 complimentary sessions with a psychologist per year whether active, retired, adjunct, associate, or resident physician. To learn more and schedule an appointment, visit  ccmsonline.org or call the private hotline, 239-208-3984. 

Members are also invited to join a CCMS physician fitness or wellness group, such as running, tennis, discussion, fishing, and more.
