The Idaho Physician Well-Being Action Collaborative (IPWAC) was created by local physicians in 2018 to bring together individuals from several sectors of healthcare to address system-level issues with significant impact on the health of our physician and patient communities. Our mission is to make life better for physicians and thereby, make life better for our extended community. Dr. Ed McEachern and Dr. Deb Roman co-founded and co-chair the Idaho Physician Well-Being Action Collaborative.

We have cultivated a strong network of healthcare professionals who openly share ideas and insights with each other and are committed to doing this work together. Our “roundtable” is now viewed as a place where people with diverse perspectives and experiences come together to actively and effectively address complex healthcare issues. We meet monthly  to consider challenges and opportunities, identify common ground, and create and collaborate on innovative healthcare initiatives.  Our current initiatives focus on prior authorization reform and women's health. .
