We have amazing doctors here at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital—experienced, world-class leaders who show up every day with compassion, respect, and smiles for our patients. They're here, choosing to work at our hospital, because they care about the people in our community and creating health equity for South Los Angeles.
With two national recognitions taking place in March—Physicians’ Week and Doctors' Day—we thought it was the perfect time to rally our community to acknowledge our own outstanding medical team.
Throughout the month, we posted our thanks to our doctors on social media. We profiled one of our doctors, the joyful Dr. Myron Hall. Plus, we created an electronic card to send each of them—see below—and encouraged people from our community to sign it.
And when founding Advocates Dr. Kristine Penner and Mr. Steven Klein stepped forward with a challenge matching gift in honor of our doctor appreciation effort, we took up a collection for the hospital as an extra way to show our gratitude.
Our thanks to everyone who participated by signing the card on Facebook or who made a gift in honor of our doctors.
