About Us | Community Involvement
At Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers, our goal is to improve the quality of people's lives, for our patients and the communities we live in. PTSMC is continually looking for ways to support and give back to people, organizations and causes that are in need of resources. We are very proud of the efforts our staff makes to assist others. Recently, our organization has developed a group known as the "V" Team. This group helps coordinate companywide efforts and resources to the charities and communities we choose to serve. PTSMC is excited about the future and the ways we can get involved to support others!
