Lauderdale, building and running a successful business for 34 years and administering to over 16,000 patients in his chiropractic practice before retiring. His story is also one of family and community; from his parents, early settlers in Hollywood, FL, who were deeply involved in charitable and community work, to his own support for numerous charities and organizations, Steve’s life reflects a commitment to giving back.
