National Doctor’s Day will bring a double whammy this coming Monday when the venerable Monitor Monday continues its recognition of the occasion with a pair of featured speakers: Drs. Drew Updike and Christopher Boyle.

The day of recognition took place on March 30, the date when Eudora Brown would place flowers on the graves of late physicians, starting in 1933. Historians are quick to note that the date also commemorates the first use of anesthesia for surgery.

Fast forward to Monday, April 6, 2026: that’s when Drs. Updike and Boyle will not only be recognized for their service by Monitor Mondays, but featured as speakers.

Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:

• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.

• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.

• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.

• Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, senior legislative affairs liaison for Zelis, will report on current healthcare legislation.
