Watch The Video!
Independent vein practice owners face a unique challenge—you’re expected to deliver world-class patient care and run a thriving business. And the truth is, you don’t get better by sitting in lecture halls or walking exhibit floors.
You get better by learning from other owners who are in the trenches, facing the same battles you are.
The Vein Practice Growth Summit is not run by hospital executives or professional meeting planners. It was built by independent vein practice owners, for independent vein practice owners—physicians who know what it takes to succeed and are committed to helping each other grow.
Learn from your peers, not “gurus.”
Every session is led by physicians and entrepreneurs who have built thriving practices.
Master both medicine and business.
Clinical innovations + practice management strategies = total growth.
Walk away with real pearls.
No theories here—just proven tactics you can implement the Monday morning after.
"Anybody trying to survive and stay independent in today’s healthcare system need to connect... The cooperative environment, the cost savings, and the pearls of wisdom shared here are invaluable. I wish more practices could experience this."
The Growth Summit Difference:
Dual Focus: Clinical + Business Mastery
You’ll learn the latest in vein care.
First, new therapies for venous leg ulcers or advances in foam sclerotherapy
And then pivot to sessions on referral growth, reimbursement tactics, and practice expansion.
Highly Interactive Format
No lecture marathons. No giant exhibit halls. A single-room, where you’ll engage in:
Roundtable Discussions
Open peer-to-peer exchanges where every attendee contributes and learns.
Morbidity & Mortality Case Reviews
Honest, case-based lessons from real-world complications and successes.
Networking That Matters
Build authentic relationships with fellow owners who share your challenges and your drive to grow.
Tips & Tricks Sessions
Practical pearls and shortcuts from seasoned physicians and entrepreneurs that you can implement right away.
Owner-to-Owner
This meeting is designed specifically for vein practice owners, physician-entrepreneurs, and key decision-makers.
You’ll be surrounded by peers who share your challenges: managing staff, building referral networks, improving efficiency of your clinical operations, scaling locations and hiring.
"I’m a physician, not a businessman. That’s why I value HPS so much. They give me confidence and clear, actionable ways to improve both the clinical and business sides of my practice. Plus, the vendors and solutions they bring in are vetted and high-quality, which is invaluable for physicians."
