OUR STORY
Cheraye Aguirre and Shelly Wray have been serving patients together for over two years under The Medical Home Team. In August of 2022, Cheraye and Shelly were presented with an opportunity to merge with The Medical Home Team as owners, thus Allegiance Care was established. Through the transition we have gained some new faces but still maintained the quality of service to our patients. We cannot wait to serve our patients to the best of our abilities.
