Giving back during the holiday season ❤️

Our North Bethesda team held a Thanksgiving Food Drive last month and had an incredible turnout! Thanks to the support of our patients and staff, the team collected more than 240 pounds of food and several grocery gift cards, which were delivered to Bethesda Help, an organization dedicated to assisting the local community. These contributions provided essential items and hope to those who need it most during the holiday season, and beyond.

We are proud to have such caring individuals as part of our network. Thank you for making a difference! 🫶🙌
