Rural Maine Business Increasing Access to Healthcare —
Live Life Family Practice in South Paris, ME

After years of practicing in a large medical facility, Cortney Muldoon was struggling with the role insurance played in providing care. Wanting to directly address her patient's needs, she launched her own private practice based on a Direct Primary Care Model. With the help of the SBDC, she worked on her business plan, developed a set of financial projections, negotiated her debt structure, and closed on the loan needed to purchase her building and launch her practice. Cortney's patients now have direct access to the care they need, without the concerns of payment, insurances, out-of-pocket deductions, or the myriad of complicating factors in today’s medical field.

Twelve years ago, Kyle [my consultant] helped me get a $90,000 loan and hire my first employee, and I’ve been working with the SBDC ever since. I’m just super grateful to Kyle, and the SBA, the SBDC — they’ve always been there.
