Thank You Oceanside Healthcare Workers On National Doctors Day

OCEANSIDE, CA —National Doctors Day is the day we set aside to thank healthcare workers that do all the hard work that sometimes goes unnoticed.

On March 30, 1933, the first Doctors' Day observance was held by the Barrow County Alliance, in Winder, Georgia. Conceived by Eudora Brown Almond, the idea of setting aside a day to honor physicians occurred on the anniversary of the first administration of anesthesia by Dr. Crawford W. Long in Jefferson, Georgia, in 1842.

For All Americans who have chosen the noble profession of healing and caring for others, we are grateful. This is especially true as our extraordinary doctors and other talented medical professionals have collectively risen to the challenge of combating the coronavirus pandemic in communities large and small across the United States. This year in particular, on National Doctors Day, we recognize the remarkable men and women who treat their fellow Americans, find cures for the diseases and illnesses we face, and never waver in their efforts to treat every patient with the dignity, respect, and empathy they deserve.

From all of us at the Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch, THANK YOU, from the top to the bottom of our hearts!
