History of National Doctor's Day
The origins of National Doctor's Day can be traced back to 1933 when Eudora Brown Almond, the wife of Dr. Charles Almond, proposed the idea of setting aside a day to honor physicians. Her vision included adorning the graves of deceased doctors with flowers, a tradition that has since evolved, with red carnations symbolizing gratitude for the medical community's service.
The role of doctors extends far beyond the realms of diagnosis and treatment; they offer invaluable support and guidance to patients and their families. By recognizing National Doctor's Day, we express gratitude for their tireless contributions and reaffirm the pivotal role healthcare plays in fostering a vibrant and healthy society.
