Northeast Regional Medical Center Honors Physicians on National Doctors’ Day With Donations to Local Organization

4/11/2025

For the second consecutive year, NRMC celebrated National Doctors’ Day through an expression of gratitude by donating to local non-profit organizations.

National Doctors’ Day was first observed in the United States in 1933. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed a joint resolution making Doctors’ Day a national holiday to be celebrated on March 30. Doctors’ Day serves as a moment to acknowledge physicians for their expertise, compassion, and dedication to the community.

NRMC physicians chose to contribute to the United Way of Northeast Missouri with a $3,500 donation. The United Way supports ten non-profit organizations in Northeast Missouri and recently celebrated 70 years of work to improve the quality of life for those in Adair and surrounding counties.

“Thanks to our medical staff for taking care of Kirksville and surrounding areas, both in and outside of the hospital,” stated Patrick Avila, NRMC CEO. “And, thanks to the United Way of Northeast Missouri for all you do to support those in need in our community.”
