FREEPORT, ILLINOIS — FHN is proud to celebrate our physicians throughout March, the month of Doctors’ Day.
March 30 is National Doctors’ Day, a chance to acknowledge all that physicians do for their communities. On March 30, 1842, in Jefferson, Georgia, Dr. Crawford Long used ether to anesthetize a patient, James Venable, and painlessly excised a tumor from his neck.
All month, FHN is offering the chance to send a message to your healthcare provider – simply click on the “Happy Doctors’ Day” story at www.fhn.org. Messages will be shared with providers and may be featured online (with personal information removed).
