\"\"Today, March 30, 2021, is National Doctors\u2019 Day. On this day of recognition, we honor our outstanding Cooper physicians who provide healing and hope every day. This annual observance is aimed at appreciating physicians who help save our lives everywhere. The holiday first started in 1933 in Winder, Georgia, and since then it\u2019s been honored every year on March 30, the first anniversary of a doctor using ether anesthesia by Dr. Crawford W. Long. Today we continue to celebrate medical advances like these and thank all doctors everywhere who\u2019ve spent so much time and energy mastering their field of expertise.<\/p>\n
