    45. Inside mental health in the healthcare industry and how to protect it, with Laura Magnuson M.A., M.S., LAMFT
    May 15 2024
    In a field where helping others is one’s daily routine, the irony is that so many healthcare providers don't seek help themselves when they need it. May is Mental Health Awareness Month; and in this episode, we're attempting to remove the stigma around discussing one's mental health, because in the healthcare industry, the need is seemingly greater than in others. The statistics are shocking: Healthcare providers rank at No. 11 on the Center for Disease Control’s list of the top 30 occupations likely to die by suicide. Another 2019 CDC study shows veterinarians are between two and four times more likely to die by suicide than the general population. Our guest in this episode is Laura Magnuson, the vice president of clinical engagement and a licensed associate marriage and family therapist at Talkspace. As a Mental Health First Aid instructor, she is passionate about mental health education and how that translates into an effective and healthy workspace. Together, we'll discuss: How stress can manifest in your physical health How to break the stigma surrounding discussions of mental health What simple strategies can help you cope with stress on a daily basis How practice owners can facilitate a healthy practice What to do if you or someone you know is in crisis What crisis and non-crisis services are available by dialing 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

    Mar 13 2024
    If you go too big, you're locking yourself into an expensive lease that could limit your cash flow. If you go too small, you could stunt your growth and trap yourself in a space that feels tighter by the day. Healthcare providers face a crucial imperative to get it "just right" when they hunt for commercial real estate.

Together, we'll discuss: Why choosing the right location is crucial for the success of a healthcare practice Factors healthcare providers should consider when searching for a location How the number of doctors, exam rooms, and treatment rooms creates a formula for the footprint of a practice How to consider the potential for future expansion when selecting a space The risks and benefits to both leasehold space and buying a building for a healthcare practice Are you ready to take the next step in scaling up your practice ownership dreams?
