CMC Physicians Give Back on Doctors’ Day
3/30/2023
In celebration of National Doctors’ Day today, Carlsbad Medical Center is honoring its medical staff by donating to area charities.
Doctors’ Day is set aside to recognize physicians for their skills, sacrifice and service to the community. But true to their ongoing care and compassion toward others, CMC physicians decided to select nonprofit organizations to receive donations in lieu of tokens of gratitude the hospital typically provides them in honor of Doctors’ Day.
“We are grateful to the physicians on our medical staff for the steadfast care provided to the thousands of patients we treat each year,” said Nick Arledge, Carlsbad Medical Center CEO. “It is humbling to see them give back to the community we serve as we seek to honor them on National Doctors’ Day.”
Earlier in the year, the medical staff voted to determine what organizations they would like the donations to benefit. They chose to support Carlsbad Lifehouse, Inc. which helps provide care for individuals with substance abuse and mental health challenges, and the Southeast New Mexico Veteran’s Transportation Network, which transports armed forces veterans in the Southeast New Mexico area to and from medical appointments, free of charge. Each organization will be presented with $1,500 on behalf of the CMC Medical Staff.
