HONORING THE HEART OF SEABROOK: OUR SMALL BUSINESSES

Earlier this May, the Seabrook Economic Development Corporation joined communities across the country in recognizing National Small Business Week, a time to celebrate the hardworking entrepreneurs who power our local economy and enrich the character of our coastal city.

EDC CELEBRATIONS

Aspire Medical and Wellness Celebrates 5 Years and New Expansion

The Seabrook Economic Development Corporation recently honored Aspire Medical and Wellness, PLLC as part of its Business Anniversary Program Initiative. On Friday, May 9, the EDC hosted a special anniversary celebration and ribbon cutting ceremony to recognize Aspire’s five years of dedicated service and to welcome the clinic’s exciting new expansion: Aspire Aesthetics.

Founded in 2020 by Amy Wilson, APRN, FNP-BC, Aspire began as a deeply personal mission rooted in Wilson’s own health journey. What started as a vision to provide holistic, patient-centered care has grown into a trusted wellness resource for the Seabrook community. Today, Aspire offers a unique integrative model of care not found elsewhere in the city, including in-home visits for patients with limited mobility or access.


The celebration took place at 913 Hardesty Ave, Suite A and included a formal presentation of a Certificate of Appreciation from the EDC, recognizing Aspire’s contributions to local healthcare and community wellness.


The event also marked the grand opening of Aspire Aesthetics, an in-house addition offering services such as neurotoxin injections, fillers, red light therapy, and more furthering the clinic’s mission to help individuals optimize their health and confidence.

The celebration continued with BBQ, refreshments, and a welcoming atmosphere for community members, partners, and supporters.


Congratulations to Amy Wilson and the Aspire team on five impactful years in Seabrook, and for continuing to grow with purpose.
