Linda Hammann

I was born and raised in Nebraska. I come from a long time Husker fan family. Go Big Red! I have 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren. I love them and love being with them.

Before starting here at PHC at the end of May, 2023, I was in the contact lens wholesale industry for many years. It was a very rewarding career.

Now that I am here at PHC helping patients at the Front Desk, I see how many patients we help improve their quality of life with hearing aids. So, yes, I did go from eyes to ears.
