About the event

The business side of running a healthcare practice

The healthcare industry is evolving fast. Clinical excellence still matters most, but running a sustainable, profitable healthcare business takes more than good medicine.

Practice owners today juggle financial management, insurance, patient acquisition, staff productivity, operational efficiency, technology and business growth — often without much support on the business side.

The Balsam Practice Owners Conference brings together around 90 healthcare professionals and business leaders for a day focused squarely on the business of healthcare, trading practical knowledge attendees can actually put to use.

Practical solutions, not theory

The conference covers the pillars of running a modern healthcare practice, so attendees leave with insights they can use.
