PAALS' announced opening date of Sept 15 for our S/N Clinic on East Limestone Rd is delayed. Stay tuned for our delayed opening date! We hate it, but it's a lot to get done. Renovation is complete, we're cleaning & sealing floors soon, then will start bringing in equipment. We promise a big announcement before we open!

Although the property is being auctioned, we have a lease, at a very low monthly rent, locked down for a total of five years.

L-R: Diane Burch, clinic manager for N AL S/N Clinic is helping Laura Apodaca, clinic manager for the PAALS S/N Clinic, opening soon; date to be announced.
