On February 1, 2019, the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc., Board of Directors approved amending Article 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 of the CAP Bylaws, setting the time for a membership-petition nomination to the Board of Directors at 75 days before the date of an election and eliminating nominations from the floor at a meeting to elect directors.

After many successful years in private practice, Dr. Eleby Washington made a decision that changed his life and that of countless others: he went to take care of the underserved. 

The Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. actively supports health-related causes in communities served by our physician members. From local hospitals and fundraising efforts for medical research, to supporting our local youth and women’s organizations, CAP’s contributions to a variety of causes reflect the value the company places on giving back and being engaged in our communities.

CAP prides itself on being a physician-owned and governed organization. If you’ve ever wondered about what that really entails, you may be interested in applying to the CAP Fellows program. This leadership development program is designed to help ensure that our organization remains the very best it can be by preparing a group of select physicians to eventually assume leadership roles.

Risk management has always been a central component of CAP’s strategy to help its member physicians. Through its Risk Management Program, CAP provides a unique blend of services designed to help member physicians control the risks inherent in today’s practice of medicine and, thus, mitigate potential claims.
