Re: Marketing new clinic

[Guest guest]

and Adam,

I agree that patient care should always be top priority..that's why we became

PT's. I have also found that as an owner of a clinic, it is difficult to find

PT's who want a piece of the pie. I have been trying to find a PT who would

like to become more involved, which would eventually allow me to back out and

exit the practice, but I've found that most would either like to start thier own

or just be an employee, which is fine, but makes an exit strategy more

challenging. I've also found that in my area, lots of PT's like the security

and benefits of a hospital setting. It's safe, sometimes easy... and reliable.

Just my thoughts. Thanks for listening.

RE: Marketing new clinic

We may be seeing a shift toward more practice ownership; but, that does

not diminish the continued need of therapists in traditional employment

settings (hospitals, home health, nursing homes). It's also fine to

push toward practice ownership in every situation, but corporate /

facility ownership of therapy has advantages too. A lone therapist

trying to staff and manage a nursing home practice could become consumed

in regulation, facility fickle demands, denial appeal payback, payroll

demands, etc.

I believe we have a place and equal value for both type practices for

the patient - company - therapist gain.
