Great video Chris! I’m so glad Reliant is asking individuals from our department to do these informational videos. It is great to see colleagues sharing their expertise and promoting the profession through social media!

We are happy to hear that our video is helpful to you. Best of luck to you.
Great, informative video! Thank you Reliant for offering these services – women everywhere should take note and use these tips to prevent issues later in life!
We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed our video, Brittany! Thanks for watching.
