Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing: Dr. Peter Kevorkian on Purpose-Driven Practice and Burnout Prevention, EP 256

from Thriving Practice with Tracy Cherpeski · host Tracy Cherpeski

What happens when the business of healthcare starts to crowd out the heart of it? In this episode, Tracy Cherpeski sits down with Dr. Peter Kevorkian — President of Life Chiropractic College West and a chiropractor with 42 years in private practice — to talk about the one thing that separates thriving practice owners from burnt-out ones: staying connected to your purpose.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Dr. Peter has spent his career as a voice of conscience for healthcare practitioners, reminding them that they entered this work to serve people — not to be consumed by coding, compliance, and insurance bureaucracy. In this conversation, he shares how he built a predominantly self-pay practice that made a very good living without ever turning a patient away, what patient empowerment actually looks like in practice, and why he believes the healthcare system functions more like a sick care system than a wellness one.  He closes with a message so simple it stops you in your tracks: everyone wants to feel heard, significant, and loved. Lead from that, and everything changes.  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy’s LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page
