"Refer a Colleague" Donations Triple in November
PRMS is celebrating 35 years of offering professional liability insurance. As a thank you to our partner organizations, as well as the greater behavioral healthcare community, PRMS is tripling every donation we make through our “Refer a Colleague” program to a state psychiatric association, NAMI, or a national or regional specialty psychiatric association of the referrer’s choice. For each referral PRMS receives in November we will increase the donation from $50 to $150 through Tuesday, November 30. Read more about this and our new "Refer a Colleague" 35th Referral Contest on the blog.
