Thriving Together: Overcoming Professional Isolation in Physician-Owned Practices

By Tracy Cherpeski

Behind many successful physician-owners lies a silent struggle: a deeply-felt sense of professional isolation.

Physician-owned practices have a profound community impact by fostering personalized patient care, promoting local economic growth, and preserving a sense of familiarity and trust within their community. Unlike a hospital or larger practice where social contact and networking is practically built-in, owning a practice, or any business, can feel quite isolating. As a physician-owner, your team is likely made up of just you, possibly a small handful of other providers, and your clinical support and administrative teams.

Why Provider-Owners Should Think Like an Entrepreneur

By Tracy Cherpeski

Life comes at you fast.

In today's fast-evolving healthcare landscape, the role of providers extends beyond the confines of a traditional healthcare practice. With shifting paradigms, emerging technologies and evolving patient needs, it is vital for providers to embrace an entrepreneurial mindset to navigate challenges and harness opportunities.

If you embody an entrepreneurial mindset, you’ll enjoy the fruits of your labor and make your life easier as a provider-owner. Most of our clients don’t think of themselves as entrepreneurs when they start their journey with us. Adopting some of the key mindset differentiators will benefit you, your team, your patients and your bottom line.

A bonus of thinking like an entrepreneur is an openness to seeing opportunities and creating multiple streams of income without a ton more work.
