History

National Grateful Patient Day celebrates those who do their best to keep their patients healthy and happy. Unfortunately, people have little to thank their saviors, because it is difficult to find a gift equivalent to a human life. We are obliged to say words of gratitude, because it does not just cheer up, but motivates us to work and help further. If for patients, doctors are life-giving moisture, then for doctors, words of gratitude from patients are a necessary breath of air.

National Grateful Patient is a non-profit company founded by NFL player and Person of the Year Rolf Benirschke in 2017. He had to go through two difficult operations and spend a long time in the hospital. After these trials, he decided to create an organization in order to express gratitude to the doctors in this way.
