Celebrating National Doctors’ Day
By Office of Communications & Marketing | Mar 30, 2022
I am honored to wish our Downstate doctors a happy National Doctors’ Day!
Your commitment to excellence and compassion are the very essence of care, and you continue to do so for our community, sometimes under the most difficult of circumstances.
Doctors are key leaders, and are critical to care—physician-led efforts help to promote a stronger patient-centered culture. As we work together to shape the future of healthcare in Brooklyn, your perseverance enhances the practice of medicine in our community and takes it to a higher level. Your leadership, voices, and presence lend much to many lives.
You keep our patients healthy and our community safe. Thank you for making our patients your priorities so that they feel safe and comfortable while also reassuring them and their families during times when it may be most fearful for them.
I am pleased to share this message wishing you all a happy National Doctors’ Day.
