## History

[edit]

Bond Clinic was founded in 1948 by four physicians, one being Dr. Benjamin Bond. The first office was established in June 1949 at the corner of Avenue A N.W. and 3rd Street. On the first floor was a local drugstore and Bond's office was on the second floor. By 1954 the clinic expanded from four to six physicians. At that time a new building was constructed for Bond Clinic on First Street, across from Winter Haven Hospital.[7]

In 1978 Bond moved to its current main campus location, which was expanded over the years. The building now there runs the length of the block. In 2007, the clinic opened a satellite location at 199 Avenue B, NW, in downtown Winter Haven. Many services are now housed at that location. Bond opened clinics in several other locations through the years.[8]
