What is your business name?
Tell us about what your business does.
- Private practicing Pediatric office. We offer pediatric care from birth to age twenty-one. We conduct well-child/annual checks/physicals, diagnose and treat sick kids, and manage chronic medical conditions.
What inspired you to join the Power to Prosper program?
- I want to learn more about business ownership from a business standpoint. I am a medical provider and I know how to do medicine, but to have a successful medical practice, I need to learn how to be a great business owner.
Where do you see your business in the next 5 to 10 years? How do you believe the Power to Prosper program will help you in reaching those long-term goals?
- I plan to have two locations, possibly selling the first to a bigger medical practice like Norton and/or Baptist. A well-oiled machine will prosper, and I plan to learn the tools needed from Power to Prosper program. I want to pay all my overhead loans from the start-up process.
What’s your favorite thing about living and doing business in Louisville?
- I love my population of patients. I love serving and offering great medical care to underserved and privately insured patients with the same quality of service. I don’t treat Medicaid patients different than privately insured patients. Everyone is served equally by a local, African American, female, Louisvillian (born and raised).
