Today is National Doctors’ Day!
Doctors' Day is set aside to say thank you to our physicians for all the care they provide our community. Our appreciation goes out to each and every physician, this day and every day.

History of National Doctors' Day
Doctors’ Day is held every year on March 30th in the United States. It is a day to celebrate the contribution of physicians. The first Doctors’ Day observance was March 30, 1933 in Winder, Georgia. Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond, decided to set aside a day to honor physicians. On March 30, 1958, a resolution commemorating Doctors' Day was adopted by the United States House of Representatives. In 1990, legislation was introduced in the House and Senate to establish a national Doctors’ Day. Following overwhelming approval by the United States Senate and the House of Representatives, on October 30, 1990, President George Bush signed S.J. RES. #366 (which became Public Law 101-473) designating March 30th as "National Doctors’ Day."

"Because time really matters, and our ability to intervene and have a good outcome for Mom and baby really depends on how quickly you get in for care" --Dr. Kimberly DeStefano, medical director of maternal fetal medicine at St. David's North Austin Medical Center
