We Make It Our
Priority To Give Back
Our business began as a gift from one friend to another, so it seemed only logical that we should give back to our community.
First and foremost, we do our best to be the kind of business that helps sustain a healthy community: skillful, fair, kind, and honest. We show up on time, work safely and quickly, and make sure we give people good value for their investment. We aim for perfection, but when we make a mistake we apologize and make things right. Our employees earn an average of 25% more than the industry standard, receive full-coverage health insurance 100% paid for by the business, and a 401K plan with a 5% match. They can even take advantage of college tuition reimbursement after one year of employment.

Priority To Give Back
Our work in the community, and in the wider world, connects us to and deepens our relationships with the people we meet. It challenges us and makes us a little bolder, a little kinder, and a little less self-centered than we ordinarily tend to be. It makes all our lives a little bit better. We think that’s why, almost without fail, volunteering in the community is what our coworkers say they enjoy most about the Spine.
