Doctors' Day 2015
3/26/2015
Healer. Detective. Adviser. Confidante. Comforter. These are among the many roles doctors fulfill each day as they care for patients and their families. Whether it is in a hospital, a clinic, or a long-term care facility, doctors work tirelessly to make sure patients get the care they need.
On March 30, healthcare organizations will celebrate National Doctors’ Day. First observed in Winder, Georgia in 1933, Doctors’ Day honors the contributions physicians make to communities across the country. We at Lake Granbury Medical Center (LGMC), are proud to honor the work of the 230 primary care physicians and specialists on our medical staff – active, courtesy, and consulting doctors – representing these specialties:
- Anesthesiology Cardiology
- Ear, Nose & Throat
- Emergency Medicine

- General Surgery Gynecology
- Hospitalists
- Internal Medicine Nephrology
- Neurological Surgery
- Neurology Obstetrics
- Oncology

Caring for the sick and maintaining good health for those who are well requires teamwork of the highest level, and doctors are at the core of this relationship. We work closely with the physicians on our medical staff to deliver quality, personalized care to each patient. Having physicians who share this commitment and our mission to deliver high-quality care is important to us and we’re fortunate that members of our medical staff share these beliefs.
We’re committed to making sure the community has access to the healthcare services it needs. That’s why recruiting and retaining talented physicians and surgeons to our community is a top priority. We also appreciate those physicians who have served as the foundation of our medical staff over the years and helped the hospital achieve its recent Top Performer national recognition from The Joint Commission.
We actively recruit primary care and specialty physicians to improve access to care right here at home. Since 2011, LGMC has recruited 16 physicians to the community which results in approximately 56 new jobs in the area.
As LGMC celebrates Doctors’ Day, we recognize all the doctors in the community for their contributions, and we say a special thank you to the members of our medical staff for their dedication to our patients.
