Happy Doctors' Day

May 1 is a special day for Nova Scotia Health as it gives us the occasion to celebrate the many physicians who dedicate their careers to caring for Nova Scotians, all of us!

Doctors work long hours, make tough decisions, invest in their practice and their patients' wellbeing every day. They listen, they coach, they research, diagnose, heal and support us in our most challenging moments. And, they celebrate our health care victories as part of our team of supporters.

The people we care about most benefit from their dedication and chosen profession. Today, we express gratitude and acknowledge our Nova Scotia physicians. Thank you for choosing Nova Scotia as your place to practice medicine. We continue to work towards our recruitment promise of being a great place to practice medicine and a great place to build a life. In the interest of celebrating our province's beauty and promoting some well-deserved balance, we are offering a contest for a weekend getaway at areas across the province of your choice. You can enter the draw below.

In honor of Doctors’ Day, we are also profiling three physicians (stories found on this site) who exemplify what it means to be a doctor – passionate, dedicated, and committed. Their tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to exceptional care inspire us all. 

Thank you for all that you do, today and every day.
