The first seminar will take place Wednesday, April 10 at 5:30 p.m. at the Wellington Commons (8461 Lake Worth Road).
Titled “Defining Your Practice,” it will cover the following:
• What do you do?
• What makes your practice different?
• Identifying your strengths and weaknesses.
• Who do you want to reach?
• How do you reach your target market?

Specific to the healthcare industry, White currently leads clients in strategically planning for day-to-day operations and business issues, including reimbursement, managed care contracting, coding, billing, collections, marketing, strategic planning and alignment, analysis of financial statements, budgeting and forecasting, and staff development.
