Merit Health Honors Physicians on National Doctors’ Day With Donations to Local Organizations
3/29/2024
For the second year in a row, Merit Health found a unique way to thank the medical staff for National Doctors' Day. The Jackson area hospitals are expressing gratitude by directing contributions towards their chosen local charities in honor of their physicians.
National Doctors’ Day serves as a moment to acknowledge physicians for their expertise, selflessness, and dedication to the community. And true to their character, Merit Health physicians chose to support local organizations instead of accepting customary tokens of appreciation from the hospital network on Doctors’ Day.
"We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the physicians on our medical staff for their commitment to caring for the patients we serve annually across the region," stated Sam Dean, Market CEO of the Merit Health Jackson hospitals.
The following organizations will receive a portion of the donations totaling more than $15,000 on behalf of the physicians from the Jackson area Merit Health hospitals:
- Merit Health Central - Shower Power
- Merit Health Madison - Holmes Community College School of Nursing Scholarship Fund
- Merit Health Rankin - Alzheimer’s Association, MS Chapter
- Merit Health River Oaks - Hinds Community College School of Nursing Scholarship Fund
- Merit Health Woman’s Hospital - Mississippi College School of Nursing Scholarship Fund
