I am a physician, mom and wife and run my own lean private practice.

Why do I work for myself? So I don’t have to take anyone’s permission for vacation! (I’m only partly kidding).

But running a practice in this day and age of falling reimbursements and rising cost of doing business is HARD.

And I wanted to work only part-time.

If I was going to pull this off, I would have to run my practice really lean.

So I focused on office space because that is usually a huge expense for a startup practice. I wanted to sublet from another practice but had no good way of doing so. I cold called a few practices and got nothing but lukewarm no’s.

This led me to think of having a dedicated space where physicians and other healthcare workers can look for office space, based on their individual needs.

And it helps established practices as well, by adding a revenue stream off existing assets as well as helping out a colleague.

Times in medicine are changing and we would do well to stick together.
