 My dear fellow family doctors, this is the 13th year in a row that we're celebrating Family Doctor Day. Over the years, more and more of us have used May 19 as an opportunity to share information about the role of the general list doctor and to advocate on behalf of primary care. Always there to care. In those few simple words, this year's slogan succeeds in pointing to key values of family medicine. Family doctors on the lines that we train specialists. Always there stresses the continuity in the care we provide over time whenever needs arise. And care. That's what we deliver and that is so much more than diagnosing and treating. We family doctors care by listening, by interpreting what we hear. We witness what is said and or implied, approaching our patients problems comprehensively. We care also for the families of our patients and the context in which they live. Our care is based on evidence and built on our long and continually growing experience. Do you want a healthy population? Make sure people have a family doctor. Happy Family Doctor Day.
