Doctors' Day 2016 in US: Best quotes, wishes, picture messages to share with doctors

National Doctors Day is observed in the U.S. to honour the contribution of medical practitioners to society.

Happy National Doctors' Day 2016!

National Doctors' Day is observed March 30 every year in the United States to celebrate, thank and honour the medical practitioners for their contribution to society.

It is believed Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr Charles B Almond, set aside a special day to honour doctors by observing the first Doctors' Day in 1933 in Winder, Georgia. The United States House of Representatives adopted a resolution in 1958 commemorating the day, following which legislation was introduced in the House and Senate to establish it as a national day in 1990. Former US president George W Bush designated March 30 as National Doctor's Day in the country Oct. 30, 1990.
