In this episode of the NP Business Matters Podcast, I talk with Dr. Cindy Elliott, nurse practitioner.
Cindy started her practice in 2009 and ran it successfully for many years before joining a larger practice this past year. Learn how she set herself up for success, as well as build in time and space to give back to the community at large as well as the NP community.
Additionally, Cindy is one of very few providers in the United States whose practice serves the Deaf Community. She discusses some of the cultural issues as well as communication issues, especially in this time of the global pandemic.
