This Doctors' Day, Regional Hospital of Scranton is honoring their physicians by donating $6,000 to local charities selected by the medical staff. The physicians voted earlier this month and selected St. Joseph's Center and St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen.

"On Doctors' Day, and every day, we are thankful to work with skilled and compassionate providers." said Michael Curran, CEO of Regional Hospital of Scranton. "We are grateful for their contributions, sacrifices, and unwavering care provided to the patients our hospitals and clinics treat each year throughout the community."

St. Joseph's Center received a donation of $3,000. Rooted in the core values of care, concern, compassion and commitment, the Saint Joseph's Center humbly serves people who are diagnosed with intellectual disability and those who seek pregnancy support, adoption assistance, outpatient therapy or medical day care services.

St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen received a donation of $3,000. Their mission is rooted in the Catholic tradition and the spirit of its patron, St. Francis of Assisi, the hungry are fed in collaboration with volunteers and donors from all faith communities. The Kitchen provides a free, hot, nutritious meal every day of the year.

On Wednesday, March 27, hospital leadership and medical staff members from Regional Hospital of Scranton presented checks to St. Joseph's Center and St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen in honor of Doctors' Day on March 30.
