National Doctors' Day, which is Thursday, March 30th, honors providers for their contributions to society and the community.
 
"In recognition of National Doctors' Day, I want to take a moment to recognize healthcare providers across BHS and throughout Berkshire County for their dedication to their patients, the people within our community," said James Lederer, MD, BHS Chief Medical Officer/Chief Quality Officer. "We have the unique opportunity to not only address the healthcare needs of patients who turn to us for care, but to also impact the overall wellness of Berkshire County. A provider's job is never over -- patient support goes beyond the hospital, clinic, or medical office, and our providers' dedication to this community is constant. Thank you for always striving to make each patient's care experience one that is welcoming, personal, and convenient."   
 
Today and always, Berkshire Health Systems is grateful to all providers, including physicians and advanced practice providers such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners, for their commitment to their patients, their care for one another, and their compassion towards all the members of our community.
