National Doctors' Day to be Celebrated at Atlantic General Hospital

Berlin, Maryland – On Monday, March 27, 2006 and throughout the week, Atlantic General Hospital will begin the celebration of DOCTORS’ WEEK. National Doctors’ Day is actually on March 30, but Atlantic General Hospital began a tradition a few years ago of having various departments recognize the doctors by celebrating the entire week. The annual event is met with much joy and excitement as the staff plans this week of celebration.

Atlantic General Hospital will personally recognize the medical staff with breakfast and lunch available to them each day by various departments of the hospital. On Monday, March 27, 2006 the kickoff begins with the Medical Staff Office having breakfast and lunch available for them. This will take place upstairs in Conference Room #3 which joins the Medical Staff Offices. Each day the Emergency Department, Surgical Services, Med/Surg, CCU, and Health Information Management will also be making available breakfast and lunch to our medical staff in the respective departments. A schedule of events is posted throughout the hospital and has been sent to each medical staff member.

We feel fortunate to have a highly skilled and talented medical staff here at Atlantic General Hospital providing quality patient care close to home. Better living through care and medicine is what we all wish for. Atlantic General Hospital and the community owe a debt of gratitude to physicians for the compassion in administering the sick and alleviating human suffering.

AGH would like to encourage members of the community to make an extra effort to show their appreciation to their personal physicians on DOCTORS’ DAY.
