Physician Philanthropy Council
The Power of Collective Giving
The Physician Philanthropy Council (PPC) is a giving circle that brings physicians together to support meaningful projects and initiatives across the Aultman Health System. Through collective philanthropy, PPC members combine their resources and expertise to make a greater impact on patient care, education, and innovative programs that enhance the quality of care provided throughout the health system. The council empowers physicians to directly influence areas of need while fostering a culture of giving among Aultman’s medical staff.
How it Works: GIVE, AWARD, GROW
