We see you. We hear you. We are you. We Thank YOU.
We’re Here for You in 2022, is this year’s slogan for National Physicians Week, March 25-31, which includes National Doctor’s Day on March 30th. Dr. Kimberly Jackson and members of Physicians Working Together (PWT) spearheaded the creation of National Physicians Week in 2016.
The past two years have been incredibly challenging. I am extremely thankful and grateful for my colleagues, peers, friends, my own personal physicians, and those physicians currently caring for and helping my sister battle pancreatic cancer. Thank you for everything. This blog post is for you.
