Cleveland, TN – This year, to celebrate National Doctor’s Day, Tennova Healthcare - Cleveland found a unique way to thank the providers who serve our community and hospitals. In lieu of gifts, Tennova Healthcare - Cleveland donated money to a local charity, The Caring Place.
“We are incredibly honored to celebrate our medical providers who serve our community,” said Jarrett Millsaps, FACHE, CEO of Tennova Healthcare - Cleveland. “We are fortunate to have them and want to acknowledge their contributions, sacrifices, skills and unwavering care to the thousands of lives we at Tennova Healthcare - Cleveland touch each year.”
The Caring place received a donation of $3,000 in honor of Doctors’ Day. Their mission is to provide access to the basic resources and opportunities Cleveland area neighbors need. To accomplish their mission, they have a number of different programs designed to serve different specific needs in the community including a food pantry, ready to work closet, community social work, spiritual support and more.
On Tuesday, March 21st, hospital leadership from Tennova Healthcare - Cleveland presented a check to The Caring Place in honor of Doctors’ Day on March 30th. Representatives from The Caring Place pictured right to left are: Corinne Freeman, LAPSW, Executive Director of The Caring Place, Chris Schelich, Community Engagement Coordinator, The Caring Place, Sidney Barham, LMSW, Director of Case Management.
Doctors’ Day was first observed in Winder, Georgia. Started by Eudora Brown Almond, the wife of a prominent Georgian doctor, the day was meant to recognize and honor doctors for their service. She decided the best way to do that was to mail greeting cards to all the doctors she knew and to place flowers on the graves of deceased doctors. She used red carnations- a flower still used to this day for National Doctors’ Day celebrations. Each year, on March 30, we celebrate National Doctors’ Day to honor the professionals for their dedication and contributions to community and society. Tennova Healthcare - Cleveland is sincerely grateful to doctors for all that they do.
