3/30/2023
To celebrate National Doctors’ Day this year, Lake Granbury Medical Center made a charitable contribution of $5,000 to United Way of Hood County in honor of its medical staff.
“What a wonderful and exciting surprise! This is an amazing gift and could not come at a better time. We have almost tripled our calls needing help within the last 4 months, and this money will make such an amazing impact,” stated Crystal Moore, Executive Director of Hood County United Way. “Thank you so much for thinking of United Way and the families we serve!”
“It’s an honor to give back to the communities we serve,” states Curt M. Junkins, CEO at LGMC. “United Way is one of the vital organizations that serve so many of our families here in Hood County.”
National Doctors’ Day was first observed on March 30, 1933, spearheaded by Eudora Brown Almond, a physician’s wife who wished to set aside a day to honor her husband and other physicians. March 30 is also significant in the medical community because it marks the anniversary of the first surgery using anesthesia.
