Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we're chatting with Melissa Wesner about how to build community as a group practice.

We discuss Melissa's clinician community membership in Baltimore; a different approach to networking; dealing with isolation and burnout as clinicians; community and wellness needs; how to replicate this community group for clinicians in your area; self care as a business strategy; balancing life and business success; taking self-care off the back burner; and how to take action when you're feeling burned out.
