National Doctors Day 2009

Each day, doctors go to work to make the community a healthier place. In commemoration of National Doctors Day on March 30, take a moment to recognize the doctors and physicians who dedicate their lives to ensure the people of our community are in the best health possible.

Physicians who serve our community are truly heroes. These men and women dedicate their lives to the practice of medicine, and our community continues to thrive as a result.

National Doctors Day was first observed on March 30, 1933 when Eudora Brown Almond conceived the idea on the anniversary of the first administration of anesthesia by Dr. Crawford W. Long in 1842. With great approval by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, President George Bush signed a resolution into law in 1990 designating March 30 as National Doctors Day.

Our doctors do so much to keep us healthy. The next time you leave from your next appointment, be sure to thank your physician for their expertise and time.
