Practice Ownership Demystified: A Panel for Future Leaders

Launching the NYSVMS “Pathways to Practice Ownership” Series
in collaboration with Cornell’s Center for Veterinary Business and Entrepreneurship 

Think practice ownership is out of reach? Think again.

Join NYSVMS for a dynamic panel conversation that breaks down the myths, barriers, and fears that often hold veterinarians back from pursuing ownership. Whether you're years away or just beginning to consider your options, this candid discussion will offer insights, encouragement, and real-world advice from veterinarians who’ve walked the path.

Moderated by Dr. Chris Rocchio, Founder and CEO of Monarch Practice Solutions, the panel includes experienced veterinary practice owners who have taken different routes to ownership and have stories to share—from the challenges they faced to the freedom, fulfillment, and impact they’ve found along the way.

Panelists:

• Dr. Jennie Rubenstein, Owner, Jockey Hollow Veterinary Practice

• Dr. Peter Romano and Dr. Patricia Doherty, Sleepy Hollow Animal Hospital

• (One additional panelist to be announced)

You’ll walk away with:

• Honest insights on financing, mentorship, and managing risk

• Inspiration from peers who’ve made ownership work for them

• A better understanding of how practice ownership can align with your values, lifestyle, and goals

Whether you're an associate, a new grad, or simply curious—this is your invitation to explore what’s possible.
