“We wanted to deliver quality healthcare to
the most vulnerable populations and continue that same care at home,” said Amber Banks, CEO,

owns Combat Academy Karate School in Gulfport. He is a black belt Hall of Fame inductee and provides martial arts training to seniors and underserved youth, as well as annual self-defense workshops. He is also married to Michele Barber of 21 years and has 3 children.
