Today we celebrate Doctors’ Day!

The Southern Medical Association proudly recognizes the dedication, expertise, and compassion of physicians who care for patients, advance medicine, and strengthen our communities every day.

National Doctors’ Day was officially recognized in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush and traces its roots to members of SMA’s Barrow County, Georgia Alliance, who first envisioned a day to honor physicians.

Today, and every day, we thank you for all that you do.
