ARC RECEIVES SMALL BUSINESS AWARD
Independence
Chamber of Commerce member Athletic & Rehabilitation Center was recently
named the 2010 Small Business of the
Year and received the Mr. K Award from the Greater Kansas City Chamber of
Commerce. ARC, called a "rising star" by
one of the Chamber judges, was selected in part because of it's growth --
40 to 60 employees this year and the addition of the Liberty and St. Joseph
clinics in 2009, and Olathe clinic in 2010.
Another reason they were chosen was because of their focus on
high quality outcomes for patients and innovation in developing programs for
employers that help them hire the best employees, rehabilitate their employees
when injured and provide proactive sports performance and wellness programs.
The Independence Clinic is located at 4460 South Noland Rd and headed by Ben
Peterson MSPT, DPT.
