The healthcare profession attracts those who want to make a difference in the lives of others. They all have a higher calling and always rise to the challenges in front of them. This happens every day, but it’s very apparent during this time in our history. Healthcare workers across the nation have been on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing care to ill patients and battling the many challenges this public health crisis has presented from a variety of angles.

On March 30th, in honor of National Doctors’ Day, we would like to set aside time to honor and celebrate our team of healthcare providers for their never-ending dedication and contribution to continue offering the level of care people have come to know and trust from our organization. Now more than ever, their service and hard work is valued in keeping our community safe and healthy.

Prowers Medical Center has experienced some changes in our provider base the last few months.

As we work to build a strong and resilient team of healthcare providers dedicated to care for our community, you will find some familiar faces and some new ones. Our team is hand-selected to ensure that we have a team of top-notch professionals who are committed to working together by utilizing an innovative and collaborative approach to put the patient first. While much has changed, many things have not — like the strength and resiliency we see around us, with our healthcare providers.

Offering care in a small, rural community allows our providers the opportunity to build caring and meaningful relationships with their patients. No matter how trying times may get, the team of healthcare providers at Prowers Medical Center is here to help you — offering care, compassion and personal sacrifice to put the community’s needs above their own.

We have seen and experienced significant fundamental changes in the healthcare industry the last two years. As healthcare professionals, we all have been at the forefront of this extreme transformation. Yet, one thing remains constant — a commitment to do the right thing. Our team of healthcare providers continually demonstrates an expectation to always do better. They are focused and committed to provide better outcomes, better patient experiences and better safety. Putting patients first is their primary goal.

An expression of gratitude on National Doctors’ Day to our team of healthcare providers is one way to recognize their courage, professionalism and selfless commitment to serving others. It also helps us collectively gather up resolve for the challenges that are still ahead.

To Our Healthcare Providers:

The stress and pressures you have felt over the past two years have not gone unnoticed. Your devotion to the care of your patients has been and continues to be paramount. I am truly humbled and honored to work alongside such an amazing group of hardworking and talented people who care for the patients in our communities.

Thank you for your resilience, compassion and conviction to provide care to the patients and families that depend on us during these uncertain and challenging times. Words will never be able to adequately thank you for your dedication, your perseverance and your heart, but all of us across our organization are forever grateful!

Karen L. Bryant, Chief Executive Officer
