Dr. Hansen and her team believe in giving back to the community. Every month, we have a Piggy Bank fundraiser for a local charity. Our patients feed the piggy banks, and we match all the in-office donations. If you would like to donate to any of these organizations, stop by our office or visit their website. Thank you!
