Jonathan Tripp, Tripp Family Medicine,
“It means that we’re making an impact in the community, doing things a little differently.

Being a lot more personable and attracting friends and family of current patients because that is where our growth is coming from.”

Carmen Babb, Psychiatric Services Behavioral Health Clinic & Twin Falls Health Care,

“It means a lot to me, because what I do is try to help people, that’s what I’m about is just trying to reach out to the community.

I even founded a non-profit so that I can help more people and raise money through fundraisers and grants to provide free treatment for anybody that needs it.”
