The PBF Helps Care For Our Own
Since 1961, Texas Medical Association's Physicians Benevolent Fund (PBF) has helped Texas physicians and their families in need. Each month, the fund helps recipients with personal expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, insurance, medical bills, clothing, and food. Some recipients are elderly and not practicing medicine, some are disabled or ill, and some are widowed and raising families.
Hundreds of physicians and their families have been helped since PBF was established with a $2,500 donation from the late May Owen, MD, a Fort Worth pathologist and past president of TMA.
