Today is World Family Doctor Day—and the US needs more family doctors. By 2026, 21% of family medicine and other primary care physicians will have reached retirement age, while demand for primary care is expected to grow 4%.

World Family Doctor Day is on May 19th every year. Founded by the World Organization of Family Doctors (W.O.N.C.A.) in 2010, World Family Doctor Day has now grown into a global celebration of the importance of family doctors in health care. Taking part in this event is a great way to show appreciation for the important role family medicine plays in providing patients with individualized, comprehensive, and long-term health care. Family doctors around the world have made significant contributions to medicine — now is the time to recognize that. It’s also a moment to recognize the advancements in family medicine and the unique efforts of primary care teams worldwide.

So we, at the ME-P, hope all the family doctors take time to relax from their busy schedules and enjoy the springtime blooms as we trust those April showers brought lots of May flowers.

  • Markets: Stocks climbed for the second straight day as a last-minute deal to raise the debt ceiling begins to take shape. GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer signaled their chambers could vote next week on an agreement that would avert the US’ first-ever default.
  • Stock spotlight: Netflix shares popped after the streamer said its cheaper ad-supported plan is off to a hot start. Earlier this week, Netflix said that 25% of its new subscribers opted for the ad tier in regions where it’s available.

Here is where the major benchmarks ended yesterday:

  • The S&P 500 Index was up 39.28 points (0.9%) at 4198.05; the Dow Jones industrial average was up 115.14 (0.3%) at 33,535.91; the NASDAQ Composite was up 188.27 (1.5%) at 12,688.84.
  • The 10-year Treasury yield was up about 7 basis point at 3.65%.
  • CBOE’s Volatility Index was down 0.78 at 16.09.

The tech sector continued to be one of the market’s strongest performers, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index jumping nearly 3% and the Nasdaq-100 closing at a 13-month high. Real estate led decliners among S&P 500 sectors.

Also, the U.S. dollar index surged near a two-month high amid growing confidence the Fed won’t be lowering rates any time soon.
