We are excited to announce that we will be opening our first satellite clinic in San Diego County. Please review the following information to find more details about the expansion and answers to many questions you may have about this exciting step for our program.
Why San Diego?
- As So Cal Food Allergy expands, it is important to expand locally first. Being within 70 miles of headquarters, the San Diego site provides the organization a firm expansion model with support nearby when needed. After its successful launch, we anticipate similar expansion opportunities in other regions of the US.
