3 Top Franchises Medical Professionals
Workplace burnout in hospitals is raging, and not just in the burn units. In 2021, HHS.gov noted that at least 54% of medical professionals are suffering from at least one medical illness, and hospitals cannot maintain the staffing necessary to treat their employees the way they deserve. Healthcare professionals are exhausted, but they feel like they have no place to go. They have the know-how to help, and they believe that the only way to use their skills is to push past the toxicity and bear it.
However, the proactive health and wellness space has been growing exponentially over the past decade, with anticipated growth rates to skyrocket over the next several years. Some savvy healthcare professionals and estheticians have found their way to the wellness industry and have never looked back. By investing in a health and wellness franchise, burned out, stressed, and mistreated healthcare workers can use their skills and own a business that can set them up for future success.
A difficult aspect in leaving a familiar environment is the risk involved in finding something potentially better, or potentially much worse. And with all the franchise options in the wellness space, it can be overwhelming for medical professionals to know where to look. Certain franchises offer several services while others only provide one, and some might not even emphasize the importance of medical knowhow in their employees. However, this article examines 3 health and wellness franchises with locations nationwide that would provide excellent opportunities for professionals to recover their passion for healing once more.
Liquivida
Founder of Liquivida, Samael Amaury Tejada (Sam for short), is a medical professional himself and he only hires the best to join his team and expand his brand. Their website boasts more than 15 medical providers who have joined their ranks, ranging from paramedics and Registered Nurses to Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, and Doctors of Medicine. Estheticians have also found a home in Liquivida as they work alongside nurses to help people look and feel their best.
Liquivida also offers an opportunity to pursue entrepreneurial dreams through their franchise program. The Liquivida franchise program is well-established with over 20 franchised locations from New Jersey to Arizona, and they have different options for people to take the plunge into the therapy services they offer. First, any medical practice with trained personnel can become an IV kit provider, where they offer Liquivida signature IV treatments. The next tier is to open a Liquivida Lounge, where owners can set up shop in an existing medical office or spa and generate sales by offering IV therapy to a diverse group of clients in a room branded and retrofitted for a Liquivida Lounge. Finally, Liquivida franchisees can open a brick and mortar storefront, Liquivida Wellness Center which can sell a variety of wellness options in high demand such as weight management, nutrition counseling, medical aesthetics, age management, skincare and supplements, all with the exceptional knowledge and experience of Liquivida’s medical professionals.
Sam Tejada mentioned that once a franchisee gets access to its resources, everything is ready for them to “take it, run with it, and start making money.” This is particularly important when a lot of people tend to overlook major safety and compliance controls that need to be in effect when opening a medical practice. Liquivida makes it easy and can provide the necessary tools for healthcare professionals and estheticians to become the leaders of a relaxing, healing environment while still practicing the skills that they worked for years to achieve.
Liquivida promotes healing from the inside out with a focus on managing the aging process with certainty and style. Instead of merely covering up the symptoms, they work to address the cause of visible problems with personalized assessments of the body’s inner workings. Each aesthetic treatment option offered requires a knowledgeable and trained professional to ensure the best results for the clients. Liquivida understands the caliber of professionals needed to provide the services they offer, and they believe that those healing minds can also be exceptional leaders as franchise owners.
Ideal Image
Ideal Image is another franchise that boasts a high number of qualified medical professionals and estheticians to administer their services. At Ideal Image, patients have access to treatments such as botox and fillers, cool sculpting, laser hair removal, and skin lifting therapy. They welcome medical professionals into the space and list the medical directors by state and location on their website. They also promise patients the “most accessible network of doctors and medical professionals” at each of their facilities.
Most of the Ideal Images practices seem to focus on healing from the outside-in. They want every client to look and feel their best, and they also advertise an excellent franchise opportunity. They note that the growth of the industry as a whole is exploding, and that medical professionals can become a part of their 150+ locations nationwide. They offer a “pay for performance” model where certain fees are tied to the location’s success. Ideal Image franchises gain access to the sales teams, marketing, and clinic operating systems of the renowned brand.
Restore Hyper Wellness
With over 125 locations and plenty of service offerings, Restore Hyper Wellness could also be a worthwhile switch for burned out medical professionals to still use their skills and lead others in a growing industry. Clients at Restore Hyper Wellness can receive many treatments including cryotherapy, light therapy, IV drip therapy and biomarker assessments, and they believe that these treatments can affect each aspect of their clients’ lives.
