Every day, physicians go above and beyond to care for their patients and build a healthier community. In recognition of their commitment to patients and the entire health care system, National Physicians’ Day is celebrated on May 1st. A designated day for physicians provides an opportunity to appreciate the dedicated and compassionate care that physicians provide, often putting patients ahead of themselves, their families and other commitments.
This year on National Physicians’ Day, we reflect on the work and sacrifices made by physicians and, most importantly, express our most sincere appreciation for the care they provide in normal and in extraordinary times. Amidst the uncertainty and anxiety brought on by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, you have demonstrated exceptional skill and endless compassion towards others.
Thank you for your professionalism, perseverance and bravery during these demanding times. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our patients, and your practice. Thank you for saving lives in our community and region; you are truly making a difference every day.
As we navigate the turbulent times brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, now more than ever, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre would like to sincerely thank every physician for all that they do and for helping us become Healthy Together.
