Last week, Brendyn Jones from TMJ4 News stopped by to discuss the 2025 Community Baby Shower, the TMJ4 mission to help get baby items into the hands of those who need it the most in our community. GLIIHC's Family and Child Therapy Clinical Director, Alaina Hanks, took time to discuss the clinic, our services, programs, and how the baby shower items will have an impact on our patients.
Make sure to check out TMJ4's Morning Show tomorrow, Wednesday, January 22, to view the entire segment!
