Their words change lives. Their compassion brings comfort. Their dedication offers hope. They are our doctors and they do so much more than simply heal bodies. Their personal care touches hearts and impacts lives.
For the last three years, the WellStar Foundation has mailed letters to 25,000 patients who had been treated in one of our facilities sometime during the last year. Patients are asked to consider making a Doctors’ Day gift to honor their personal physician—one who has made a difference in their lives.
The response this year was overwhelming. More than $14,000 was raised, representing gifts from more than 360 individual patients and recognizing more than 200 individual physicians. Each doctor receives a World-Class Caregiver certificate and lapel pin to commemorate this special honor.
A number of physicians have received multiple recognitions and those shown below will receive a gold lapel pin signifying more than 10 honors:
Jackson Bates, M.D.

“When I became a physician 30 years ago, it was with the intention to practice Medicine with no regards to outside recognition. However, I discovered a sense of great pride when my patients honored me with their donations to the Foundation. I am also a donor to the Foundation since I have seen the great work they do for our community. My patients’ recognitions renew my pride in the profession I have spent my life pursuing.”
--Charles Crabbe, M.D.
