BY CONCIERGE MEDICINE TODAY (CMT) EDITORS AND STAFF
DECEMBER 1, 2014 - It’s time to give credit to the many successful, hard-working and professional women in the business of Concierge Medicine and healthcare delivery across our industry. Today, Concierge Medicine Today is releasing Part 1 of 2 in their series entitled “Industry Leading Women In Concierge Medicine.“ Many of these female professionals and physicians currently operate in a CEO or Management-level role and also serve in an advisory or leadership capacity for their peers and others in the marketplace of Concierge Medicine and Direct Primary Care.
“The brass ring in a career isn’t the number of zero’s on your paycheck, it’s when you become indispensable,” said Michael Tetreault, Editor of Concierge Medicine Today, the trade publication for the Concierge Care industry. “The professionals mentioned [below] are an invaluable ensemble and serve at nearly every leading business or medical practice in this marketplace. Their contributions to this industry are seen and heard every day. The rapid advance of women in the business world and in healthcare is growing and female-run companies are setting a high standard of care, particularly in Concierge Medicine and Direct Primary Care.”
According to a recent report by Biz2Credit, more women than men attend and graduate from college these days. Further, as they gain experience running their own companies, they have become better negotiators, marketers and CEOs. Women are running their businesses more efficiently than ever. The result is that they are looking to expand their companies at earlier stages of the business life cycle, as the survey data indicates.
