FUELed Up in New Orleans: A Recap from the Fuel Medical Symposium

Written By Jody Vaynshtok

Earlier this month, clinic owners Jody Vaynshtok and Melissa Beer headed to New Orleans to attend the Fuel Medical Symposium, a 3-day powerhouse conference for private practices in communication health.

Set in the vibrant heart of the Big Easy, this year’s symposium brought together industry leaders, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and clinic managers from across the country to explore innovative strategies for building and sustaining healthy, patient-centered practices.

Workshops and keynote sessions covered everything from team culture and strategic growth to clinical leadership and marketing excellence. Jody and Melissa returned feeling inspired, energized, and (dare we say) FUELed up! 🔥

Since returning, they’ve already begun implementing some of the takeaways, focusing on refining systems, strengthening staff support, and exploring new tools to make our clinic even more efficient and welcoming. As a team, we’re always learning, growing, and investing in the future of Sound, and we’re excited to keep bringing that energy to our patients and community.
