Speaker: Julia Peterson, Senior Clinic Director
Julia Peterson: Hello, my name is Julia Peterson, physical therapist and senior clinic director. I've been with Ivy Rehab for 3 years via acquisition.
Why did you decide to partner with Ivy to open your own clinic?
Julia Peterson: As someone that's always believed in the power and healing of my local community, it was an easy decision for me to partner with Ivy Rehab. For years I've been passionate about improving the lives of my community, and I saw that Ivy had the same commitment to excellence, compassion, and innovation.
What did the support and resources look like for an Ivy de novo partner?
Julia Peterson: Through their extensive support and resources, Ivy Rehab has enabled me not only to grow professionally, but also to provide the highest standard of care for the patients who rely upon us, whether that be through operations support, marketing, clinic- clinical excellence, and technology. This partnership is more than a business, it's about building something that is meaningful and lasting to the communities that we serve.
What advice would you give to someone interested in opening your own clinic?
Julia Peterson: Opening your own clinic is a big step. It is an incredibly rewarding journey. It takes vision, planning, and commitment, but if you approach it the right way, you can create something that truly makes a difference in people's lives.
