Rick Case Automotive Group served an early Thanksgiving meal to physicians in training at Broward Health on Friday morning, and made a donation to the health system’s graduate medical education program.
President and CEO Rita Case led the visit and served food to members of the program’s largest class in Broward Health’s history. Case said the company wanted to show appreciation for residents’ commitment to becoming top physicians in Broward County.
Many residents will work over the holiday. Broward Health Dr. Amanda Eukovich said she will not be going home for Thanksgiving this year, so the gathering gave her and her co-residents and co-fellows a sense of home at the hospital.
Broward Health President and CEO Shane Strum said the system has about 400 residents across more than 28 residency programs. He said Case’s gift will pay for new simulation equipment for training. The donation also will fund a wellness lounge where residents can relax after long shifts.
