MARCH 26, 2015
Louisa, Ky – Healer. Detective. Adviser. Confidante. Comforter. These are among the many roles doctors fulfill each day as they care for patients and their families. Whether it is in a hospital, a clinic, or a long-term care facility, doctors work tirelessly to make sure patients get the care they need.
On March 30, healthcare organizations will celebrate National Doctors’ Day. First observed in Winder, Georgia in 1933, Doctors’ Day honors the contributions physicians make to communities across the country. We, at Three Rivers Medical Center and Paul B. Hall Regional Medical Center, are proud to honor the work of the nearly 270 physicians that represent 29 specialties on our medical staffs.
Caring for the sick and maintaining good health for those who are well requires teamwork of the highest level, and doctors are at the core of this relationship. We work closely with the physicians on our medical staff to deliver quality, personalized care to each patient. Having physicians who share this commitment and our mission to deliver high-quality care is important to us and we’re fortunate that members of our medical staff share these beliefs.
We’re committed to making sure the community has access to the healthcare services it needs. That’s why recruiting and retaining talented physicians and surgeons to our community is a top priority. Combined, the two hospitals welcomed 33 primary care and specialty physicians to our medical staffs in 2014. Currently, we are actively recruiting primary care, orthopaedics, pulmonary/critical care and psychiatry.
And so, as we celebrate Doctors’ Day, we recognize all the doctors in the community for their contributions, and we say a special thank you to the members of our medical staff for their dedication to our patients.
