Thompson to Mark Upcoming National Doctors’ Day
Thompson Health is celebrating Doctors’ Day on Sunday, March 30, encouraging community members to take a moment to acknowledge the lifelong commitment of our medical professionals.
According to NationalDoctorsDay.org, doctors in the U.S. care to over 1 billion patients annually, with an average of 3.2 doctor visits per person. About 85% of adults and 95% of children in America visit with a doctor each year. With a persistent physician shortage in recent years, the American Association of Medical Colleges predicts a shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036. Doctors are feeling the heavy demands placed on them daily by the healthcare industry, and the theme of this year’s National Doctors’ Day is “Behind the Mask: Caring for Caregivers.” “Behind every mask is a human being—one who deserves rest, recognition, and real support in the fight against burnout,” the website states.
To show special recognition to a local doctor who has made a difference in you life and to read the history of Doctors’ Day, visit

Growing up on Long Island, New York, Meaghan Frank never imagined that she would one day manage the family business, Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery, located in Upstate New York. She believed her brother would eventually take over the winery, just like her father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had before her.
“Growing up we knew that our family hoped that one of us - my brother, sister or me – would join the family business, but I decided to study Communications at Cornell. Then one semester I decided to take a viticulture class as an elective and I was hooked,” explained Meaghan. Read More.
