Celebrating
Doctor’s Day
2021
This week, we celebrated National Doctor’s Day! We are especially grateful for the opportunity to celebrate our doctors and
their tireless work to continue providing compassionate care while sacrificing more of their own health and time than ever
over the past year. Doctor’s Day activities at Ozarks Healthcare included a special breakfast prepared by our own Chef Tyler.
Doctors were greeted by a tasty assortment of crepes as they entered our hospital on Doctor’s Day. While we are not able
to bring many people together at this time to celebrate due to COVID-19, we are proud to honor the care and comfort our
doctors provide to our community every day.
