DOCTOR
APPRECIATION DAY DECLARED IN
PETERBOROUGH:
Each year since 2002, citizens in the Greater Peterborough Area
celebrate an annual Doctor Appreciation Day. After such an
overwhelming response to this unique community event since the first
event in 2002, the
Physician Recruitment program declares a similar day each year to reinforce
the value that the community places on the skills and services that
physicians working and living the Peterborough Area provide.
Physicians are the recipients of cards, letters, a variety of
gifts and a public acknowledgement through wide spread media
coverage. As in the inaugural year, the Peterborough Petes
Hockey Club participates in this special day by helping to provide a
block of seats at the Pete's hockey game that night and making
special public address announcements to acknowledge the presence of
a number of doctors and their family members in the audience. All in
all it is a very successful "retention" activity.
With so much attention given to any new doctor coming to town the
community wanted to make sure those who are already here are not
neglected.
