The AMA & @ABFamDocs are proud to celebrate Family Doctor Day, which occurs annually on May 19. First declared by @WoncaWorld in 2010, #WorldFamilyDoctorDay recognizes the outstanding contributions of family doctors in health care systems worldwide. albertadoctors.org/news/world-fam… 
This year's #WorldFamilyDoctorDay theme, 'Family Doctors, Always There to Care' reflects the steadfast dependability Alberta’s physicians have demonstrated throughout the past two years of uncertainty—on the front line, in times of need, delivering 80% of care in our communities.
Together, the ACFP and AMA are helping share this message & ask Albertans to celebrate their family doctors. Despite the constant change, family doctors are always present, & continuity is a fundamental feature of their work.
They are there, wherever & whenever needed, & they identify their patients’ needs to guarantee the fundamental right to health (WONCA, 2022 Pillars).
“Without primary care, there is no health care. Family doctors are essential to their patients & the health care system,” says AMA President Dr. Vesta Michelle Warren.
"Family doctors care for their patients over time from birth to the end of life," says ACFP President Sudha Koppula, “Family physicians nurture relationships with patients & families over their lifespans. This is the unique benefit of family medicine & deserves to be recognized.”
Celebrate your family doctors through the @ABFamDocs “Family Docs Rock” campaign. Share why your family doctor rocks at familydocsrock.ca & you & your doctor could receive a #FamilyDocsRock t-shirt.
