History

The first Doctor’s Day was celebrated in Winder, Georgia, on March 30th, 1933. Eudora Brown Almond, a doctor’s wife, felt the need for a day to honor the work of physicians. Her community sent cards to doctors and placed flowers on the graves of doctors who had passed away. Doctor’s Day was proclaimed a national holiday in 1991 by President George H.W. Bush.
