I’m looking forward to sharing with others how to grow a practice through this tremendous tool. We’ve installed two specialized therapy pools and our business continues to grow on a yearly basis.
Middletown, PA (PRWEB) August 08, 2014
On Tuesday, August 12, 2014 from 1:00-2:00 pm EDT, Veronica Paquette, PT, and Owner of Essex Aquatic & Rehab Center will present a free webinar titled “How to Make Aquatic Therapy Profitable.” The webinar is offered by the National Rural Hospital Association and open to all who wish to attend.
Entrepreneurs come in all shapes and sizes, from teenagers to seasoned business owners, male, female, educated, non-educated. The list goes on and on. However, all would-be business owners have one thing in common: they must have a plan. The complexity of the business plan may vary, but considerations such as permits and licenses, insurance and legal issues, market research and physical location all play a role.
Veronica Paquette underwent these considerations as the founder of Essex Aquatic and Rehab Center in Essex, Vermont. Fifteen years ago, Paquette opened the doors of her practice with the mission of providing individualized land and aquatic-based physical therapy, based on patient’s specific needs by offering a state-of-the-art private aquatic facility with specialized therapy pools. Now she’s helping others do the same.
“I’ve really developed a passion for treating patients in the aquatic medium,” stated Paquette, “because I’ve seen what aquatic therapy has done for our clients who cannot tolerate land activity. We’ve helped them heal and that has greatly benefitted our practice. I’m looking forward to sharing with others how to grow a practice through this tremendous tool. We’ve installed two specialized therapy pools and our business continues to grow on a yearly basis.”
The webinar will help attendees compare possible monthly expenses and income. With the ever-changing reimbursement rates, content of the webinar will include idea generation of additional revenue outside of physical therapy income. Post-webinar, attendees will have the tools to forecast profitability models for a therapy pool installed in their facility.
During the webinar, attendees will learn:
- How to calculate ROI on the purchase of an aquatic therapy pool
- Average reimbursement rates for a typical aquatic therapy session
- How costs of owning a pool compare to renting space
- How to effectively market a new aquatic therapy program
“The marketing of a new therapy pool is a strong component to the success of an aquatics program. We’ll discuss in detail creative ways to get the word out and reach less traditional clients,” continued Paquette.
