As we celebrate Physicians Week, we recognize the extraordinary dedication of our physicians, fellows, and residents. Choosing a career in medicine is more than a profession – it is a lifelong commitment to healing, discovery, and advocacy for our patients. This week, we honor not only their clinical skills but also the profound impact physicians have on the lives of those we serve.
Every day, physicians embody the highest standards of patient-centered care, embracing innovation and adapting to the evolving landscape of health care. Their passion for advancing medicine, expanding access, and addressing health disparities has been instrumental in improving outcomes for our most vulnerable populations. Their work does not just treat illness – it transforms lives and strengthens our communities.
At UC Davis Health, we are committed to fostering an environment that supports and uplifts our physicians. We recognize that exceptional patient care is built on collaboration, inclusivity, and a shared vision for the future of medicine. While this week is dedicated to celebrating our physicians, we also extend our gratitude to every member of our health care team, whose collective efforts make our mission possible.
To all our physicians at UC Davis Health and the UC Davis School of Medicine, thank you for your expertise, compassion, and leadership. Your dedication is the foundation of our success, and we are deeply grateful for all that you do – this week and every week.
With many thanks,
Joseph M Galante, MD, MBA, FACS Chief Medical Officer UC Davis Health, Hospital Clinical Care Service Professor of Surgery University of California, Davis
