“Today is National Doctors’ Day, an observance that traces back to 1933, when Eudora Brown Almond of Winder, Georgia, organized the first recognition of physicians through handwritten notes and red carnations to honor their service. The date—March 30—was selected to commemorate the first use of anesthesia in surgery, a landmark achievement in medical history. Over time, the day has evolved into a national observance honoring physicians’ expertise, compassion, and dedication to advancing the health and well-being of individuals and communities. I am honored to work alongside the dedicated and talented physicians in our department who exemplify the qualities celebrated on National Doctor's Day!” - Dr. Sandra Lin, Department Chair

Happy National Doctors Day to all our doctors! Thank you for all that you do!
