Why He Loves Working at Sam Rodgers
“I arrived in Kansas City 25 years ago. My financial situation at that time was not good, to say the least. Whenever my family experienced health problems, Sam Rodgers was the place to go. We knew here we would be helped and they would treat us with dignity and respect. It’s a privilege for me, now, to be part of the staff.”
