“As a perioperative physician, CEO and patient, I understand, on many levels, the critical role doctors play in maintaining the good health and wellbeing of society,” said Marc Koch, MD, MBA and CEO at Somnia Anesthesia. “I am equally proud of the unique part anesthesiologists, surgeons and perioperative physicians play in the provision of safe care every day. I also realize there are many times a doctor’s commitment, hard work, and sacrifice go unnoticed, so I am honored to acknowledge it through this symbol of Somnia’s sincere gratitude.”
Doctors’ Day was signed into Public Law in 1990 and designated a national holiday to be celebrated each year on March 30, chosen because it coincides with the first use of general anesthesia in surgery. The day was first observed in the early 1930s.
