Independent Providers CAN Work Together!

My experience is that independent business men and women are generally just that ... independent! It was encouraging to last Friday to see 20 O/P independent business professionals from throughout Arizona in one room, addressing a common concern with mutual respect and incredible openness.

These 20 men and women came together, many driving for hours, to consider how they could strengthen their industry and their businesses by working together toward a common goal. They heard a very informative presentation by Jim Andreassen of OPGA/Point about the benefits, in changing times, of working in collaboration with those with common interests. He addressed the benefit of creating a cooperative network within the state of independent providers as well as the benefits of partnering with a national network to help them compete in a changing market. Both of these possibilities were met with a positive response!

The survival of independent O/P professionals is critical to the quality of care that patients will receive and I applaud the foresight of their thinking and their efforts.
