On May 1, National Physicians’ Day, the New Brunswick Medical Society (NBMS) partnered with cities across the province to recognize the tireless work and exceptional care that physicians provide year-round.
The cities of Dieppe, Fredericton, Miramichi, Moncton, Riverview, Saint John, and the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick raised NBMS flags to recognize the occasion. We are grateful to all the mayors, city officials, community members and physicians who attended the various ceremonies.
The NBMS would like to personally thank the following:
- In Dieppe: Yvon Lapierre, Mayor of Dieppe and Dr. Lise Babin, NBMS President-elect
- In Fredericton: Kate Rogers, Mayor of Fredericton and Dr. Andrew Baird, NBMS Board Member (Capital Region)

New Brunswick patients have also shown their appreciation. Over the past year, nearly 1,000 patients have shared heartfelt comments recognizing the contributions and sacrifices made by physicians through the NBMS’s #KudosNBDocs campaign. The complete board of glowing testimonials can be found here. On National Physicians’ Day, the NBMS released a short video highlighting some of these testimonials and the outpouring of gratitude. The video was released on our social media channels (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Youtube), as well as promoted through digital ads. Since its release, the piece has received over 136,000 views.
Beyond National Physician’s Day, we want to thank all New Brunswick physicians for demonstrating such dedication, compassion, and commitment to ensuring quality care to your patients. Your hard work does not go unnoticed and is truly appreciated.
