Celebrating the Professionals at NSCHC

National Physician Week, takes place from March 25 - March 31 and includes National Doctor's Day on March 30. This is a week for all physicians to be recognized by their patients, celebrated by their peers, and take pride in the hard work that they do.

We'd like to especially acknowledge the NSCHC providers who devote so much to our patients and our organization.

The movement that created National Physicians Week began in 2016 when the advocacy group Physicians Working Together (PWT) sought to celebrate and acknowledge physicians everywhere. The group started on social media with the goal to relieve stress and foster connections for doctors. The movement has come a long way — founder Dr. Kim Jackson says it has helped physicians find better connections with each other and with their patients.

The first Doctors' Day observance was held on March 30, 1933, by the Barrow County Alliance, in Winder, Georgia. The idea of setting aside a day to honor physicians was conceived by Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond, and the recognition occurred on the anniversary of the first administration of anesthesia by Dr. Crawford W. Long in Jefferson, Georgia, in 1842.
