We’ve moved! ThriveAP has officially moved into a new office space. The transition has been a positive change – we’ve got more room that’s better suited to our team’s growing needs. And, an excuse to redecorate – what more could you ask for?! Staying true to our healthcare roots, we’re weaving medical decor into our new digs. In the process of getting our new headquarters in order, we discovered some cool vintage medical posters you might want for your office, too (we did avoid the STI-related selections!). If you could stand to freshen up your office, create a gallery wall with a few of these picks.
