The National Breathe Free Sinus & Allergy Centers is celebrating the hard work and dedication of an employee by giving her an award named after a family member of the company's founder.

Leah Smoyer, the director of new clinic operations for the National Breathe Free Sinus & Allergy Centers, was recently honored with the Jack Matthews award, an in-house award to honor those who go above and beyond.

"Jack Matthews was my grandfather and the most successful person I know," Matt Ghanem, CEO of National Breathe Free Sinus & Allergy Centers, told South Palm Beach Today. "The best piece of advice he gave me was: Do what other people won't or don't. Leah, this year, has spent over 195 days on the road between CT ENT, West Palm Beach, Capitol and next Tampa. No one embodies the spirit of this award like Leach Smoyer. We are very grateful for all of her contributions."

Ghanem and Dr. Manish Khanna, the company's chief medical officer, founded the Breathe Free Sinus & Allergy Centers during the summer of 2018. Since then, 12 new clinics have opened across the country.

The Breathe Free Centers strive to offer high-quality, patient-friendly ear, nose and throat care across the country with a team guided by compassion and integrity. There are currently locations in Washington, D.C., Florida, Connecticut, Texas, California, Arizona, Virginia and Maryland. 

West Palm Beach Breathe Free Sinus & Allergy Centers offers a variety of testing and treatment options to provide lasting relief for people who suffer from allergies and chronic sinus issues. The practice is located on Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach.
