Recognizing Doctors’ Day across our Ministry

Today, Ascension Illinois proudly celebrates Doctors’ Day, recognizing the dedication, compassion, and clinical excellence of the physicians who serve patients and families across Illinois.

From robust pediatric services and a dedicated behavioral health hospital to lifesaving cardiovascular care and complex oncology treatments, Ascension Illinois physicians provide care at every stage of life. 

Each year, they lead clinical research and advancements while mentoring the next generation of physicians. Their profession is a calling which demonstrates a commitment to health and healing across the market. 

“Our physicians combine their precise knowledge of medicine with a heartfelt desire to improve the communities they live in and serve,” said Polly Davenport, CEO of Ascension Illinois. “Doctors’ Day poses the perfect opportunity to highlight their dedication at the bedside and in the community alongside our associates who share the honor of being part of our Ministry.” 

Ascension Illinois physicians are faithfully bringing the Ascension vision to life. They are grounded in a mission-driven approach to care, guided by a commitment to serve all, especially those most in need. 

Throughout National Physicians Week, we are shining a spotlight on LinkedIn on a few of our physician leaders who reflect on the purpose behind their profession — from mentoring residents to reaching medical treatment milestones. 

Ascension Illinois invites the community to join in expressing gratitude to the physicians who serve Illinois with skill, integrity, and compassion.
