Is your practice website quietly setting up the next HIPAA lawsuit - and is your marketing message actually landing with patients who don't yet know they need you?

Tim Bouchard, CEO of Buffalo-based agency Luminus and host of the Healthcare Marketing Edge podcast, joins Jakub to share 20+ years of healthcare marketing lessons. From building patient-centric brand messages to fixing the analytics setup that's quietly exposing practices to legal risk, Tim breaks down what every practice manager should be auditing right now.

We dig into:

🏥 Tim's #1 tip for growing a practice - why every message should start with the patient's outcome, not your tech or certifications
🦵 The "knee replacement test" - how to write top-of-funnel copy that reaches patients who don't yet know they need you
⚖️ The HIPAA trap in Google Analytics - why CCPA and Colorado's CPA make standard tracking a legal risk regardless of your state
🔧 The Matomo workaround - how to run analytics, Meta ads, and email lists without exposing PHI
🌱 The community advantage - why small practices can out-brand PE-backed competitors with grassroots presence
🖥️ The biggest medical website mistake - sticky headers, persistent CTAs, and a homepage "sandwich" that reduces signup friction
