First Annual Athas Physician Summit a Success

The first annual Athas Health physician summit was a success, from social scenes to company insights. However, much of the summit’s value came from the physicians themselves, as they brainstormed ways to collaborate to increase progress and competitive advantage – and therefore strengthen each physician’s bottom line.

The activities began on Thursday afternoon as a film crew arrived to interview several visiting physicians for upcoming informational videos about the AccuraScope® and Omega™ procedures. Established, new and prospective physicians then joined the Athas management team at a reception and dinner in the private penthouse of Iron Chef® winner Kent Rathbun, who explained a new procedure: how to grill the perfect steak.

On Friday morning, Athas management explained how the growing company is swiftly driving toward its goal as the national leader in comprehensive care of back, neck and migraine pain. While Athas Chief Development Officer Alex Noffsinger emphasized the importance of physician participation, the point hit home as the attendees began to actively discuss and debate ways to collaborate.

Physician collaboration, they agreed, could be the key
to furthering research, persuading insurance companies, and dramatically boosting the potential of their procedures. “We need more opportunities to interact like this,” said Dr. Ken Alò. “Together we can make a real difference!”
