Congratulations to Marilyn Darr, MD, the 2008 Extraordinary Doctor of the Year. Best wishes to all of our extraordinary medical staff on Doctor's Day, 2009.

Extraordinary Doctors Celebrated Today and Every Day

On National Doctors' Day (March 30), Southwest is pleased to recognize the many committed and talented physicians who provide exceptional medicine and extraordinary care to our patients. Today we give kudos to all those physicians and providers nominated this past year as part of our Extraordinary Doctor's recognition program. An advertisement is running in The Columbian newspaper today with all their names (see the ad below, or click here for a higher resolution version of the ad.)

In addition, we are excited to announce that Dr. Marilyn Darr, Family Medicine of Southwest Washington, is the winner of our first annual Extraordinary Doctor of the Year Award. Dr. Darr is out of the office this week, but we plan to recognize her in a big way when she returns. And, don't forget to wish all the doctors in your life a great Doctors' Day today.

You can recognize your own extraordinary doctor and learn more about the pioneering physicians at work at Southwest, or use the rack card on display in Southwest, and mail back to Medical Staff Services.
