National Doctors Day: March 30, 2023

March 30, 2023

Press Release Number CB23-SFS.42

From the Southern Medical Association, History of National Doctors' Day: “The first Doctors' Day observance was held on March 30, 1933, by the Barrow County Alliance, in Winder, Georgia. The idea of setting aside a day to honor physicians was conceived by Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond, and the recognition occurred on the anniversary of the first administration of anesthesia by Dr. Crawford W. Long in Jefferson, Georgia, in 1842.”
