Won't you join us in wishing Dr. Hand a very Happy 100th birthday!🎉🎈
PPMA thanks her for her contributions and for the inspirational story she recently shared with us!!
As she prepares for a big celebration, she reminds us that “giving back to a community that is good to you seems like the right thing to do” and “being true to your patients and doing the best job you can for them is important.”
Thank you for inspiring us to give back to our local communities and the podiatric community. We hope your day is grand!🎊🎂
