WORK HISTORY
Chief Executive Officer @Practical Healthcare
Louisville, KY, US
As Founder & CEO of Practical Healthcare, I am redefining how patients engage with healthcare. Practical Healthcare is the legacy of patient empowerment—giving individuals the tools and confidence to take charge of their health while ensuring medical professionals respect their right to make informed decisions.Healthcare forces patients to choose between \"doctor’s orders\" and \"patient choice\", but true shared decision-making lies in the space between. We must connect with a patient’s humanity as much as their patient-ness, ensuring healthcare is both clinically sound and personally meaningful.We are the first patient-driven social medical platform, integrating AI, predictive analytics, crowdsourced insights, and Lean Six Sigma methodologies to deliver real solutions. We are not just patient-centered. We are patient-driven. Our Lean Six Sigma-based approach transforms passive avoiders into confident self-advocates, making healthcare personalized, empowering—and, dare I say, fun.Key Milestones & Accomplishments: 750+ patients transitioned from avoiders to advocates, scaling from 1:1 consultations to group and self-guided programs while maintaining strong outcomes. Groundbreaking results showing a 4X return-to-work rate, 44% disability reduction, 3X boost in health confidence, and $3,200 average annual savings per patient. 400+ patient waitlist, proving the demand for structured, patient-driven healthcare. Doubled revenue YoY, growing through direct-pay consultations and strategic pilot programs. Secured $100K in angel investment to develop our MVP.What’s Next? MVP Launch – September 2025: Our web-based MVP starts with the Define phase, where you learn how to DEFINE THE WIN regarding your health and everyday life. This phase empowers patients to become subject matter experts in how health impacts their daily lives.
