The Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce named Superior Physical Therapy its 2018 Hagerty Small Business of the Year Tuesday.

The physical therapy clinic specializes in one-on-one patient treatment and natural solutions and treatment for pain. The company is owned by Dr. Andrew Gorecki and was one of 10 small businesses that were finalists for this year's award. Nearly 200 people gathered at the Hagerty Center Tuesday for the announcement of the winner. Award judges cited the company's low turnover in its 20-year history, extensive professional development and leadership training for staff, free clinics and resources for the public, and company culture and patient focus as some of the reasons behind Superior Physical Therapy's win.

This is the fourteenth year of the Chamber's Small Business Celebration, created in 2005 to "highlight the significant role that small business plays in anchoring northern Michigan's economy."
