Do you know a physician whose caring attitude and popularity with patients, staff and colleagues consistently win kudos and their heartfelt appreciation? Why not nominate him or her for the NC Doctor of the Year Award? Nominate now!

This online award contest is part of the second annual NC Doctors’ Day celebration. The winner is the doctor who garners the most online votes by National Doctors’ Day on March 30. The award comes with a check for $5,000 to be used to further a professional or community project of interest to the winner.

The nomination phase of the contest opened on Feb. 1 and will close on March 4. So far, nearly 200 nominations have been received — already more than the 140 total nominations received last year. This is proof positive that this homegrown celebration of North Carolina doctors is catching on and growing – and that people appreciate what you do for them every day.

We encourage everyone to show a doctor their gratitude by nominating him or her today for NC Doctor of the Year. Learn more at the NC Doctors’ Day website.
