Today is Doctor's Day.

AdventHealth Hendersonville is celebrating its physicians and their commitment to whole-person care for people across Western North Carolina. The health care system recognizes its physicians every year on Doctor’s Day. This national recognition takes place every year on March 30.

“We look forward to this day every year. But the COVID-19 pandemic is making it even more important for us to take time to let our doctors know how much we appreciate all they are doing to continue the care and support of our patients and our other team members,” said Christy Sneller, AdventHealth Hendersonville Vice President of Physician Services.

AdventHealth Physician Services delivered gifts to the doctors across the nearly 40 clinical locations on Monday, March 30. The gift included a cell phone disinfection station.
“We had decided on the UV cell phone disinfection devices before the pandemic hit, but this turned out to be a very timely gift for this amazing team of doctors here at AdventHealth,” said Sneller.

The physicians were surprised and enjoyed the break in their busy days of caring for patients and encouraging their team members through this pandemic.
“AdventHealth shows its appreciation for us and support all the time, but having the leaders stop in to take a moment to thank us and encourage us on Doctor’s Day is very much appreciated, especially at this time in the world of health care,” said Teresa Bradley, MD, FAAFP, AdventHealth Family Medicine physician.


National Doctor's Day takes place every year on March 30 in the United States to celebrate the contribution of physicians to our communities.
