Meet You in Kentucky

Owning a group practice is NOT for the faint of heart.
It is hard.

We’ll say it one more time in case you weren’t totally tuned in. Group Practice: owning, operating, staffing, bankrolling — all the things — IS HARD! But there is good news. Kasey and her crew (that’s us!), we know that! We understand that. Why? Because we live that. Working with practices across North America since 2017 has exposed us to all the hiccups and hangups practice owners face in the healthcare industry.

And guess what — We have SOLUTIONS. We bring them ALL to you at our annual Meet You in Kentucky conference coming to Louisville, Kentucky May 24-26, 2023.
