March 25, 2016 // Franchising.com // Sunrise, FL - Interim HealthCare franchisees throughout the country will be joining thousands of other health care organizations in their communities to honor physicians for their dedication to healing, comfort and health contributions on National Doctors’ Day which is March 30. The history of Doctors’ Day dates back to the early 1930s, however it was officially signed into U.S. law in the early 1990s by President George Bush.

Interim HealthCare’s home care, hospice and healthcare staffing franchisees work every day with physicians in the delivery of community based care. “We are proud of the relationships we have with physicians across the county,” commented Kathleen Gilmartin, CEO and President of Interim HealthCare Inc. “Since our beginning in 1966, we have worked closely with physicians in the communities that we serve, and that importance is only enhanced under current reform to improve patient-centered health care.”

Historically, as physicians left house calls behind for office practices, and hospital care advanced to discharge patients earlier, doctors were able to continue their involvement in care at home through trusted relationships with home health care and hospice teams. Today, physician’s active participation with home care and hospice fosters both quality and continuity of patient care in the home.

There are a countless number of physicians who work with our franchisee’s dedicated clinical teams each day in communities throughout the United States,” said Gilmartin. “We hope everyone will join us in recognizing the sacrifice, dedication and leadership of these physicians in the prevention and treatment of illness and injury.”
