Being invested, equity partners allowed us to create the “equal footing” relationship that helped us grow a physical therapist–led business within a large health system. We were able to promote the type of practice that provides the best outcomes. When a decision needed to be made between investment and profit, we were able to control that process. By knowing we had stability, we were willing to make early investments that paid off years later. Whether that was starting a residency, implementing a data collection tool, or building a clinic in a future market, this partnership allowed us to take the long view of success.
