It's National Physician's Week and in view of the challenges our healthcare providers are facing today in the midst of this frightening pandemic, all of us at Prescription for Success want to remember our physician colleagues during their special week and to say thank you for all that you do. We're grateful for your service.

The first celebration of Doctors' Day took place in the tiny community of Winder, Georgia in 1933. The original celebration was a strictly local event to honor local physicians, and especially the late Dr. Crawford Long, whose gravesite is near Winder. Dr. Crawford Long was a surgeon and pharmacist who administered the first general anesthesia for surgery in 1842. Over the years, the commemoration of Doctors' Day spread across the south, and finally, on October 30, 1990, 55 years after the original event, the 101st Congress of the United States enacted a joint resolution proclaiming March 30. As National Doctors' Day in the United States. The date is significant because March 30, is the anniversary of the day that Dr. Crawford Long administered that first general anesthetic in surgery.

Dr. Marion Mass along with Dr. Kimberly Jackson and Dr. Christina Lang applied to officially have physicians day changed to physicians week, which was accepted in March 2017.
