Building a business to serve the community is what the Hammond family has always been about. They have built great relationships with the community which has been part of their work culture. For some entrepreneurs, community involvement is besides promoting the business. It’s about passion. In this episode, we speak to Bobby Hammond, physical therapist, and the former owner of Atlantic Physical Therapy.
