HHC’s mission of providing the best possible care to all New Yorkers depends greatly on the outstanding leadership and commitment of HHC physicians. Each year, on National Doctors’ Day we take the opportunity to honor a few of these men and women. HHC is recognizing 23 of these doctors, professionals who differ in age, experience, and practice setting but who share a common bond of uncommon commitment. Read the program of HHC’s Doctors’ Day event to learn more about each of our honorees.
