Two interesting pieces of news from AAHomecare landed in my in-box this afternoon.
First: Thad Connally Is Small Business Person of Year in Bowling Green, KY
AAHomecare member and HME provider Thad Connally, III, received the 2010 Small Business Person of the Year award from the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce. Connally is president and owner of First Choice Home Medical, in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
The award is given to a community member who owns and operates a growing company with 100 or fewer employees and who is involved in the development and growth of the Bowling Green community.
Connally opened First Choice Home Medical nearly seven years ago. The business has since tripled its office space in a new location and the team of employees, which Connally refers to as the "Dream Team," has grown to 13. Skip Wirth, director of sales and marketing for the company, attributes this growth to Connally's guiding principle: the patients always come first.
The chamber of commerce board chairman, Joe Natcher, said "Thad is an exceptional business man, and he makes a great contribution to our community."
That is a nice honor. Congratulations, Thad.
