​KEY WEST, Fla. – In recognition of National Doctors’ Day (March 30), Lower Keys Medical Center made charitable contributions to three local organizations to honor the medical staff. For the eighth annual presentation, hospital medical staff members selected organizations that have a significant impact on social determinants of health. The recipients for 2025 are MARC House, Samuel’s House, and Habitat for Humanity of Key West and Lower Florida Keys.
 
The Monroe Association for ReMARCable Citizens provides wrap around life services for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, including adult day training, housing, supported employment, and supported living.
 
Samuel’s House supports long term, transitional and emergency housing to individuals and families in need in the community.
 
Habitat for Humanity of Key West and Lower Florida Keys offers education, affordable home construction, home repairs, and resources to support home ownership in the Lower Keys.
 
National Doctors’ Day is celebrated annually to acknowledge the contributions of doctors and medical staff to patients and the community. In lieu of gifts for Doctors’ Day, Lower Keys Medical Center donated $1,000 to each organization to support the health and human services they provide.
 
“A healthy community requires a network of resources, education, and support for people in need. I can’t think of a better way to honor our medical staff than to contribute to the good works our recipients do throughout the year,” said Gregory Repetti, FACHE, interim chief executive officer at Lower Keys Medical Center.
