                      Tennova Healthcare Celebrates National Doctors’ Day

                      3/29/2022

                      Health care is always changing, brought on by scientific breakthroughs, technological advancements, government regulation and reform. Each year we pause on National Doctors’ Day to thank the men and women who made the decision to travel down that long road to becoming a physician. We at Tennova Healthcare are grateful for the more than 2,800 physicians who work in our hospitals, offices and clinics to serve the communities in East Tennessee.

                      On March 30th, we celebrate and honor their commitment to their field, their patients and their community. Be it a primary care doctor fresh out of residency or a veteran surgeon who continues to hone skills by adopting the latest technology, we thank you.

                      “Physicians play a key role in their patients’ lifelong health and well-being,” says Tony Benton, chief executive officer, Tennova Healthcare. “They have extensive knowledge of their patients’ individual health histories, experiences, and areas of concern or health goals. They work collaboratively with each patient to help achieve and maintain good health, through all stages of life.”

                      National Doctors’ Day was first observed on March 30, 1933, spearheaded by Eudora Brown Almond, a physician’s wife who wished to set aside a day to honor her husband and other physicians. March 30th is also significant among the medical community because it marks the anniversary of the first surgery using anesthesia, performed by Crawford Long, M.D., a Jefferson, Georgia, physician.

                      Later, in 1958, Congress adopted a resolution commemorating National Doctors’ Day, and in 1990, official legislation establishing March 30 as National Doctors’ Day was passed and signed into law by President George H.W. Bush. He declared, “There is no greater reward than being entrusted with the care of others. The day-to-day work of healing conducted by physicians throughout the United States has been shaped, in large part, by great pioneers in medical research. However, in addition to the doctors whose names we easily recognize, there are countless others who carry on the quiet work of healing each day in communities throughout the United States – indeed, throughout the world. Common to the experience of each of them, from the specialist in research to the general practitioner, are hard work, stress, and sacrifice.”
