Summary
Hospital and health system leaders face a complex strategic agenda, including growth in a consolidating market, sustainable margins amidst challenging reimbursement environments, and urgent technology investments. The 14th annual CEO CFO Roundtable aims to equip over 1,500 executives with insights and strategies to navigate these challenges effectively. The event, scheduled for November 2nd to 5th in Chicago, will feature nearly 400 speakers who will help leaders refine their priorities based on real-world decisions.
In a recent discussion, Dr. Anoushka Gaglani and Dr. Abhishek Nagaraj, founders of Eero Dental, share their journey in building a successful dental practice management company from the ground up. Starting in 2015 with a modest acquisition in Burbank, Illinois, they transformed a small practice into a million-dollar operation within a year. Their approach included a hands-on management style, initially doing everything from patient care to marketing, before evolving into a more structured leadership model as they expanded to multiple locations.
The duo emphasizes the importance of hiring motivated dentists with strong communication skills, noting the challenges in finding candidates who excel in all aspects of patient care. They also highlight their commitment to ongoing education and support for their staff, ensuring that new dentists are equipped to succeed in a competitive environment. As they look to the future, their focus remains on providing the necessary resources for their team to thrive and continue their growth trajectory.
