“Martin will eventually kick me out,” Jones said.
Emily stated she and her other half are pleased to have put down roots in Moses Lake and eagerly anticipate being able to help heal what ails individuals of this community.
“We fell for the neighborhood and individuals and really being able to provide these services to the foundation of America,” she stated. “Getting individuals out of discomfort, back to what they enjoy, that's huge.”
