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.
