SUMMARY:Webinar: How Podiatrists Are Growing Their Practices with Regenerative Medicine in 2026
DESCRIPTION:More podiatrists are exploring regenerative medicine\, not just as a clinical offering\, but as a strategic way to diversify services\, attract new patient segments\, and create additional revenue within their practices. \nHowever\, adding regenerative services is one thing and getting patients to understand it\, trust it\, and book with your practice instead of the clinic down the street…that’s where strategy matters. \nPatients are actively researching PRP\, shockwave\, biologics\, stem-cell conversations\, and non-surgical healing options across Google\, AI search\, YouTube\, and social media\, often before ever speaking to a doctor. \nThe question is:When they search\, does your podiatry practice look like the trusted authority\, or are they finding someone else? \nIn this live webinar\, we’ll break down how podiatrists can position regenerative medicine the right way: building trust\, staying compliant\, and turning interest into qualified consultations. \nWhat we’ll cover:– How patients are searching for regenerative foot and ankle solutions in 2026– Positioning regenerative medicine as a premium extension of your podiatry practice– Website\, Google\, and AI search strategies that drive qualified consults– Messaging that creates excitement without creating unrealistic expectations– Content strategies that educate patients and reduce front-desk objections– Common mistakes that attract poor-fit leads\, price shoppers\, or skepticism– Real-world examples of healthcare practices building authority in emerging treatment categories– Live Q&A + actionable next steps

SUMMARY:CPR - Get Certification or Re-Certification
DESCRIPTION:In a small medical office\, a Doctor or Staff Member must know CPR because they are the highest-trained medical professional on-site during a sudden life-threatening emergency. Immediate action bridges the dangerous gap before emergency responders arrive.\n\nEmergency Readiness FOR ONLY $35\n\nImmediate Response: Cardiac arrest can happen in a waiting room or exam room\, and starting compressions instantly keeps blood moving to the brain.\nNo Backup: Small offices have fewer staff members\, meaning the doctor may be the primary person equipped to lead to resuscitation.\nHigh-Risk Events: Outpatient offices sometimes handle procedures\, injections\, or stress tests that can trigger sudden adverse reactions\n\nKnowing CPR CAN Save Lives\n\n\nYou become a Bigger Asset in Your Office (looks great on a resume)\n\n\nCPR is Different than Performing Mouth-to Mouth Resuscitation (germ fears are removed)\n\n\nPeople spend a majority of their time at their workplace\, so it’s very likely that they could have a heart attack at work. When this kind of incident occurs\, will you be prepared to step in and help out? The best way to help out a co-worker who’s in cardiac arrest is to know how to perform CPR and why CPR is a great asset to have at the office. \nGET CERTIFICATION OR RE-CERTIFICATION ON 10/7/2026 @ 9AM\n\n\nOAKBROOK SURGICAL CENTER\nUPSTAIRS CONFERENCE ROOM\n2425 W. 22nd ST.\nOAKBROOK IL 60523\n\nYOU CAN REGISTER BY:\nCALLING 312-427-5810 or\nEMAILING: pcooper@ilapps.org
