Founded by Dr. Elizabeth Hohl during the Great Depression in 1937, the Physicians Aid Association (PAA) aims to support physicians in need. The mission focuses on providing housing and financial assistance to hundreds of physicians and their families in Los Angeles County, helping them navigate through economic hardships, major health issues, and loss of property due to catastrophic events.
The Physicians Aid Association Grant is designed to provide support during unforeseen circumstances that can dramatically impact individuals' lives. This grant program offers financial assistance for essential needs such as rent or mortgage payments, food, utilities, and transportation, ensuring that physicians and their families facing unexpected challenges can find some relief.
