National Doctors’ Day

Thank you to our healthcare heroes who carry out the quiet work of healing each day. 

To our Physicians:

We are so grateful to have a local medical staff that demonstrates excellence in the provision of patient care every day. Over the last several years, we have learned that nothing is as important as our health. We are thankful for the pivotal role you play in caring for our community, promoting healthy lifestyles, and advancing medicine. From family practitioners to specialists, we know that you endure long and unpredictable hours and cope with the conflicting demands of work and family life. We can merely sympathize with the burden placed on your shoulders as health care providers. As a community and as a healthcare system, we want to make sure that your services do not go unrecognized.  Your dedication to improving the health and well-being of our community is more than commendable; and for that, we send each of you a heart-felt thank you. 

To our Donors: 

We are thankful for the unwavering support that you show to your providers. Being able to understand and value the level of healthcare we have access to in the Lakelands area is a virtue. It is generous people like you that truly make the biggest strides towards progress. 

No matter the size, your donation will flow back into the Self Regional Healthcare system, allowing our physicians to continue to give you and your loved ones the best care possible. Your gift helps Self Regional Healthcare provide essential resources for a healthier future by funding the Equation For Progress campaign. This campaign is focused on providing support to Self Regional’s da Vinci Robotic Surgery program and the creation of a new, comprehensive Breast Center of Excellence.

We thank you for taking the time to let your physician know how much you appreciate their efforts and commitment.
