From patient to coworker to family
Amy Strickland’s family started out as patients of Baldwin Bone and Joint, but Amy felt called to go further.
“I’d come in and everybody was so nice and friendly. It just felt warm here. I just fell in love with the place.”
When an job opportunity opened up, Amy took it and began working at the practice. Little did she know, her new coworkers would become family, helping and providing support after her son, Cleighton, was in a near fatal car accident.

In many cases, businesses are known only for the sway they have on the financial world. Others, though, are remembered best for the impact they have on their communities.
That is certainly true for both the Baldwin Bone & Joint orthopedic group and the real estate investment firm 68 Ventures. They continue to make contributions away from their offices.
