Plan a DC practice within a regional telehealth model
A DC-focused practice can attract clients who live, work, or travel across nearby jurisdictions. Your operating plan should distinguish where the client will be during care from where you or your business are based.
Work with Lisa Johnson, PMHNP-BC, MPH, founder of Thrivewell Health, to discuss your priorities, operational questions, and next steps. Consultation is virtual and focused on professional education and business planning.
