March 30 is National Doctors Day. On this annual observance, Fidelis Care extends sincere gratitude to the doctors and healthcare professionals across New York State who work tirelessly to support the health and wellness of the members and local communities we serve.
Your service and dedication to achieving enhanced patient outcomes through quality care is a vital pillar of Fidelis Care’s mission of transforming the health of the community.
First commemorated in 1933 by Eudora Brown Almond to honor the contributions of local physicians in Barrow County, Georgia, March 30 was selected because that was the day in 1842 that Dr. Crawford W. Long, a Georgia physician, pioneered the use of ether as an anesthetic during surgery.
Thank you for your ongoing service to your patients and community.
