Doctor Covers $4,000 Worth of Patient Co-Pays to Celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day

Doctor Covers $4,000 Worth of Patient Co-Pays to Celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day
The urgent care physician from Lincoln, Nebraska now hopes his generous gesture will inspire other people to pay the kindness forward.

This compassionate doctor decided to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day by picking up the bill for his patients' visits.

As a means of honoring the heartwarming holiday, Dr. Don Rice covered the co-pays for all 80 of his patients who stopped by the Urgent Care Clinic of Lincoln, Nebraska on Monday.

Instead of giving the patients a bill, Dr. Rice gave them small cards that explained his reasoning for the free visits along with the hashtag #KindnessIsContagious.

Collectively, Dr. Rice says he spent $4,000 on his' co-pays.

The physician's generous gesture was reportedly inspired by the recent death of a family friend who—despite having two different kinds of cancer—was constantly being kind to other people.

"I think that we have a culture that sometimes forgets that we can have a much better world if we start being kinder to each other," Rice told 10/11 News in the interview below.
