Family Medicine Clinic Business Plan
Obvious lack of medical services in rural areas in general. This applies to XXXX, where Park Square will be located.
Solution
The mission of Park Square Family Medicine is to promote health and well-being by providing accessible, high-quality medical care for all ages. We are committed to exceeding patient expectations and running a successful and profitable business.
Market
According to the local area "Economic and Demographic Profile Report," there is increasing demand for cost-effective health care in the nation and our region. The local population (within 35 miles) is predicted to grow approximately 3.5% per year, with around 160,000 people.
Competition
Park Square Family Medicine is part of the larger medical industry, specifically "Offices and Clinics of Medical Doctors." Private medical practices in this area are generally small (1 – 4 physicians) and well-suited to rural and semi-rural areas.
There are currently five family practitioners in this town of 15,000, with 160,000 potential patients within 35 miles. These favorable statistics offer an excellent patient-to-doctor ratio for marketing efforts.
Why Us?
Park Square Family Medicine will offer general and preventative health care for all ages in this area and surrounding communities. We will utilize trained staff, new equipment, sound medical training, a referral system, and nearby hospital facilities to maximize patient care.
Expectations
Forecast
Our existing forecast shows unrealistic profits. We leave it like that for planning purposes, as expenses will increase as we go.
Financial Highlights by Year
Financing Needed
We need a $288,000 loan. Approximately $225,000 will be spent on long-term assets, with the rest used for startup and physician expenses.
Opportunity
Problem & Solution
There is an obvious lack of medical services in rural areas, including XXXX. Park Square Family Medicine will offer general and preventative health care for all ages in this area and the surrounding communities. We will maximize patient care through trained staff, new equipment, sound medical training, a referral system, and nearby hospital facilities.
Market Size & Segments
The largest age group in our area is 40-49, with 31,714 people. There is a higher percentage of residents over 60 compared to the regional average. Our market segmentation breaks potential patients into the local population (within 35 miles) and patients from the surrounding region (within 70 miles).
There are currently 4-5 family practitioners in town, with 15,000 people living within 4 miles. These favorable statistics offer an excellent patient-to-doctor ratio, in addition to the limited number of surrounding family medical practices.
Target Market Segment Strategy
Park Square Family Medicine will focus on the entire local population (within 35 miles). Our geographic marketing approach is ideal due to the rural and semi-rural patients’ limited travel distance, our general family practice catering to patients of all ages and backgrounds, and the expected population growth of 3.5% per year.
Competition
Current Alternatives
Competition among family practitioners in our town and surrounding area is small. The growing population base and limited number of doctors create a potential for meeting our patient load goals.
When choosing a family doctor, most patients look for someone knowledgeable, skilled, and accessible with convenient location and hours, short waiting times, friendly staff, and effective insurance cooperation. The relative importance of each factor varies by patients’ age, needs, and health management sophistication.
Our Advantages
Park Square Medical Center will have a competitive edge based on position, timing, quality of care, availability, after-hour and weekend care, quality time, pleasant staff, and office environment. These factors will result in patient satisfaction and high referral rates.
