📚✏️ Help Us Fill the Backpacks! ✏️📚

At our family practice, caring for our community goes beyond the exam room. As families prepare for a new school year, we know that school supplies can be a significant expense. That’s why we’re hosting a school supply drive to help local students start the year with the tools they need to learn, grow, and succeed.

Donations can be dropped off at our office during regular business hours through July 13-July 17.

Every donation, big or small, helps make a difference for a child in our community. Thank you for helping us give students the tools they need for a successful school year!
