Today, on World Family Doctor Day, we celebrate the extraordinary and unique role family physicians play in improving the health of our communities. Family Physicians are often the first point of care and a constant presence throughout a person’s life — providing comprehensive and continuity of medical care when it matters most. Their breadth of training enables them to see the full picture of a patient’s health, while their longstanding relationships offer a depth of understanding that cannot be replaced. They know their patients, understand their histories, and guide them through every stage of health and healing. Family physicians bring together medical expertise and a commitment to whole-person care in a way that is foundational to a strong and effective health care system. We are deeply grateful for the dedication of family physicians across Newfoundland and Labrador. Your impact is lasting, and your role in our health care system is truly irreplaceable. #wfdd2026

As Resident Doctors Appreciation Week 2026 begins, I would like to take a moment to recognize and thank the resident doctors across our province for the care they provide to patients every day. Resident doctors are on the front lines of our health care system, learning, teaching, and delivering compassionate care under immense pressure. Their commitment helps make health care better for all of us, now and for generations to come.

The NLMA asked each of the province’s major political party leaders about their positions on several health care issues of importance to physicians. The NLMA invites voters to read the leaders’ positions on these issues prior to the provincial election vote. nlma.nl.ca/article/nlma-r…

On National Physicians’ Day, we want to express our sincere gratitude to you, the physicians of Newfoundland and Labrador, for your unwavering commitment to patient care, compassion, and excellence in medicine. As we celebrate your vital role, we also recognize the importance of your own health and well-being. Your resilience is remarkable — but balance and well-being are essential, too. Together with our partners at the Department of Health and Community Services (DHCS), Memorial University Faculty of Medicine, Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services (NLHS), and the Family Practice Networks (FPNs) we are pleased to announce the Physician Health Collaborative (PHC), a leadership-driven initiative designed to help address the challenges physicians face across our province. To the physicians of our province: thank you for being the heart of health care and for all that you do. We honor you today and every day. Read more: nlma.nl.ca/article/nation…
