Build a De Novo
The story they built when the promise fell through.
Opportunity

An ambitious associate had been promised succession and ownership for years. When the hospital sold to a corporate group, that opportunity vanished. They held a leadership position, but true autonomy and majority ownership were out of reach.

How VPP Helped
  • Aligned with their vision. Supported existing plans to build a new hospital.
  • Delivered full de novo support. Provided expertise in site selection, construction, operations, and recruitment to bring the new hospital to life.
  • Propelled early growth. Reached 200+ clients in six weeks and added a second doctor by month three.
Where are they now?
I was determined to build a new practice no matter what. Partnering with VPP allowed me to build the practice of my dreams compared to what I could have accomplished with the resources available to a solo DVM.

From building for others to owning their own.
Opportunity

A proven medical director had a track record of driving growth in two new hospitals as an associate. After seeing both eventually sold to corporate groups, this doctor was ready to build something independently. Ownership was the next step, not just to grow another practice for someone else.

How VPP Helped
  • Created an ownership pathway. Matched their ambition to build with an opportunity for equity and leadership.
  • Offered the right fit. Connected them to a local VPP hospital where:
    • A retiring partner opened space for new ownership.
    • The location fit their lifestyle and family needs.
    • An established DVM team and client base provided a turn-key platform ready for growth.
Where are they now?
Although I began down the de novo pathway, I soon realized that an opportunity to join a nearby VPP hospital as partner was even more powerful for my career and my family. The risk is lower, and the potential reward is just as great.

Opportunity

In a highly competitive, saturated market, this doctor struggled to find a good location for a new practice. They wanted to create their own brand and take ownership, but new construction wasn't feasible.

How VPP Helped
  • Acquired and rebranded an existing single-doctor practice into a new brand identity.
  • Eliminated the barriers of real estate and new construction.
  • Integrated staff and clients from the acquired practice into the doctor's vision.
  • Created an ownership and growth opportunity with a strong foundation already in place.
Where are they now?
VPP not only saw the promise in my vision but supported and continues to support it daily. With VPP's guidance, I was able to smoothly transition into the footprint of a 35-year, well-established practice and bring a second DVM on board within just 7 months of opening.
