Advanced Practice Forum with Wendy Lucas

What happens when a healthcare practice grows from one location to ten? Wendy built a physical therapy organization from one location to ten before eventually selling the practice. Today, as co-founder of Highbridge, she continues to help private practices rethink how their front desk operations can work through technology, virtual staffing, and better systems. In this episode of The SnapScale Show, Nathan Bush sits down with Wendy Lucas to discuss the operational lessons she learned while scaling a physical therapy organization across multiple locations.  Most importantly, Wendy explains why technology doesn't have to mean losing the human connection in healthcare. About Snapscale At Snapscale, we help healthcare practices scale their operations with HIPAA-compliant virtual assistants trained specifically for healthcare workflows.
