We are saddened about the damage that Hurricane Helene has left behind in our local communities. We have decided to play a small part and take up donations of some much needed supplies. These will go directly to our neighbors in SWVA that need it the most. Anyone can drop off items at either of our clinics during business hours. Thank you so much for helping us support the community that means the most! ❤️
