WE DELIVER
Every day is Doctors Day at Covenant.
The Classifieds...
Doctors Day is a good time to reflect on the quality of physicians we
have available to us in the Levelland area. Day in and day out, we
have access to physicians recognized throughout the nation and even
the world for their medical accomplishments. Every day these doctors
work to improve health and quality of life in our community, and
because of that, people come from all over the region for their care.
At Covenant, we're proud of our physicians, their skills, and their
accomplishments. But all the medical degrees in the world can't
comfort a frightened patient. That takes a truly caring person. It takes
someone who cares for the whole person - body, mind, and spirit.
Sure, our physicians are respected by patients for their abilities. But
they're loved because they care. And that's powerful medicine.
Doctors Day
is
March 30th!
