Anaheim's Best Health Care Business of the Year
Thank you to Anaheim Chamber of Commerce for the excellent profile of our clinic and interviews with President Kevin Alexander and Dr. Julie Schornack! President Alexander said it best, “I think it’s important to realize that we’re a non-profit university. We’re not in the business of expanding just to create more students. We’re trying to do this thoughtfully and carefully so that we’re making a good contribution to higher education and a good contribution to the community.”
Warm wishes to our patients, student interns, and Ketchum community and we look forward to another bright new year ahead!
