Serial Entrepreneur Philip Kurtz on navigating a graceful exit. After a 30 year journey, Philip Kurtz found his exit. “When I got to CareATC,” says Kurtz of the company he recently exited, “it was like everything I’d done in my life had prepared me for this particular job. I believed if I could blend a lot of the tools I’d learned over the last 30 years, I could have a major impact.”
Those skill sets enabled Kurtz to grow a successful population health management company. At the October OVF Power Lunch, he outlined key steps that need to be added to your itinerary long before you reach your exit. The easy to remember checklist includes momentum, market, and management.
CareATC tailors health care to the specific needs of employees. When CareATC partners with a company, it reduces the overall costs of healthcare while providing on-site clinics that offer opportunities for disease prevention and/or intervention. The population health management company cares for more than 250,000 patients through its partnership with 150 clients in 35 states.
