National Doctors Day is on March 30
From the Southern Medical Association, History of National Doctors' Day: “The first Doctors' Day observance was held on March 30, 1933, by the Barrow County Alliance, in Winder, Georgia. The idea of setting aside a day to honor physicians was conceived by Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond, and the recognition occurred on the anniversary of the first administration of anesthesia by Dr. Crawford W. Long in Jefferson, Georgia, in 1842.

New Resource for Discovering America’s Demographic Past, Present and Future
Hundreds of Historical Census Bureau Publications Now Available on Census.gov
In a 1947 report, the Census Bureau noted a “huge and steady increase” in the post-World War II birth rate. These estimates of rapid growth in the birth rate were the first signs of the baby boom, the famous period of increased fertility that would last until the mid-1960s, as detailed in a 1965 report on national population estimates. The complete series of P25 reports is now posted on census.gov, and offers historical insight into the nation’s demographic transformation over seven decades.

Census 2020: The Undercounted
As we discussed last week in the first part of our series on the 2020 Census, an accurate count of our country’s population is critically important. For instance, the 2020 count will help determine where $1.5 trillion in federal spending goes and how many congressional seats each state gets. Communities of color are often underreported and according to the Urban Institute, this year’s census could put more than four million black and Latino people at risk of being undercounted, which could lead to the worst undercount of those communities since 1990. And that fear of a historic undercount was felt long before the coronavirus outbreak.

Harford County Counts in the 2020 Census
Harford County organizations, led by Harford County Government, are working hard to make sure everyone is aware of the Census and what it means to them and urging citizens to complete it so Harford receives as much federal funding as is available. In addition to federal funding, Census data is also used as the basis for political representation. "It's important for everyone in Harford County to be counted, it's easy, and it's safe," County Executive Barry Glassman said. "Because federal funding is based on our population, the more residents who are counted, the more money will be allocated for social services, education, public safety and other resources that improve our quality of life."

Census 2020 Still on Track, With Some Modifications
Census Day 2020 may look a bit different than initially planned due to the new coronavirus disease. The U.S. Census Bureau has suspended field operations for two weeks until April 1, according to a release from the bureau. While operations are suspended, the bureau will evaluate census operations. The plan is still to send people to knock on doors of people who have not completed the census come late May, but that could change depending on COVID-19, according to the release.
