With all the increases in technology, it’s easy to forget that healthcare starts with the people who show up every day wanting to make a difference. At Fidelis Care, we are proud to work with caring and conscientious doctors across New York State.
Whether they are seeing patients in their office or administering care in a hospital or emergency room, doctors are the lifeblood of our healthcare system.
March 30 is National Doctors Day. On this annual observance, Fidelis Care shares our gratitude to the doctors and healthcare professionals who support the health and wellness of the members and local communities we serve.
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.
On behalf of our staff, our families, and the 2.4 million Fidelis Care members you support throughout the year, thank you!
