HONOR A DOCTORS' DAY
HONOR A DOCTORS’ DAY, IN CELEBRATION OF NATIONAL DOCTORS’ DAY, ENCOURAGES PHYSICIANS AND DENTISTS AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL GIFTS FOR THE CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY FOUNDATION By Pam Irwin, Executive Director The COVID-19 pandemic has placed significant strain on physicians. Words of encouragement mean a lot to physicians at any time. When they are received during a pandemic, they can be the balm to a weary soul. In late February, and during the entire month of March, the Capital Medical Society Foundation received Honor A Doctors' Day tribute gifts to recognize National Doctors' Day. The tributes encouraged recipients and provided additional funding for the Capital Medical Society Foundation. Grateful patients, colleagues, family members, and friends participated and generously supported the CMSF's programs and initiatives, including the Area of Greatest Need, the We Care Network program, and the We Care Network Endowment. The COVID-19 pandemic creates ongoing challenges for physicians, medical students, medical practices, and hospitals. The CMSF is especially appreciative of all donors who gave to celebrate Honor A Doctors' Day. Patients, families, and colleagues are proud to support dedicated physicians working together to improve health. It is a pleasure to share a few of the many personal words of gratitude that will describe the positive impact these physicians have in the practice of medicine. We appreciate many of the donors allowing us to share their tributes publicly. Jill Bauer shared these encouraging words about her son, Jesse Blake Bauer, M.D.: “So proud of my son, Jesse Blake Bauer, M.D. He is an intelligent, caring, and overall excellent provider of quality care in Leon County!” Gavin Boone shared these kind words about Roy Forman, M.D.: “Dr. Roy Forman, Happy Doctors’ Day! Congratulations on a lifetime of caring for others as you would for yourself and better!!”
