Granbury, TX – For the second year in a row, to celebrate National Doctors’ Day, Lake Granbury Medical Center found a unique way to thank the providers who serve our community and hospitals. In lieu of gifts, Lake Granbury Medical Center donated money to United Way of Hood County.

“We are honored to celebrate our medical providers who serve our community,” said Curt M. Junkins, CEO of Lake Granbury Medical Center. “Their unwavering care for the residents of the communities we serve warms our hearts every day.” United Way of Hood County received a donation of $5,000 in honor of Doctors’ Day.

Their mission is to strive to increase the organized capacity of people to care for one another in Hood County. Through strategic initiatives, community engagement and dedicated partnerships, we foster academic excellence, financial stability, holistic well-being, disaster resilience and nonprofit capacity building.

Doctors’ Day was first observed in Winder, Georgia. Started by Eudora Brown Almond, the wife of a prominent Georgian doctor, the day was meant to recognize and honor doctors for their service. She decided the best way to do that was to mail greeting cards to all the doctors she knew and to place flowers on the graves of deceased doctors. She used red carnations - a flower still used to this day for National Doctors’ Day celebrations. Each year, on March 30, we celebrate National Doctors’ Day to honor the professionals for their dedication and contributions to community and society.

Lake Granbury Medical Center is sincerely grateful to doctors for all that they do.
