Robert Farmer, Care One Medical Solutions

I think for all business owners, new ones especially, learning about and utilizing the resources at your disposal, like the Chamber, is crucial for gaining a foothold. You meet others who can help you along the way and share advice, and we’ve really benefited from that.
