🩺It’s National Doctors’ Day – a time to say a special thank you to physicians everywhere for the vital role they play in fostering health and healing.

⭐Every day throughout our region, physicians provide life-affirming and life-saving care. Some also help train the next generation of physicians through our Medical Education program. Others generously volunteer their time in local free clinics, on medical missions throughout the world or in other community leadership roles.

🗒️Take a moment to share a personal note of gratitude for a doctor you appreciate. Your message will be delivered directly to them. You may also choose to honor them with a contribution to a Samaritan Foundation, which will be reinvested in local health care.

A small act of kindness can change a hard day, and that’s exactly what Emergency Department nurse Erika Lentz, RN, did. 🌼 During her shift, she learned that a young patient’s sibling was spending a birthday in the hospital shortly after a devastating family loss. Erika stepped away on her break, bought a small gift and helped gather the team to sing.

Her kindness brought a moment of comfort. 💛 Her co-workers see moments like this regularly, which is why they nominated her for the DAISY Award.

Erika always shows up with a calm presence, compassion and sincerity. We’re proud to honor her as Samaritan Albany General Hospital’s first Emergency Department DAISY Award recipient. 👏
