Overview

About Us In 1937, during the Great Depression, Physicians Aid Association was founded by Dr. Elizabeth Hohl to help physicians in need. Since that time, hundreds of physicians and/or their families in Los Angeles County have been aided with housing and financial assistance through PAA’s benevolent giving program. Now, once again our economy has brought about many challenges for some of our colleagues and they are facing difficult times. With the dramatic downturn in the economy, major changes in our profession along with, for some, major health problems and or loss of property in the recent catastrophic fires, PAA is still here and helping our colleagues through difficult times.
