My name is Chris Bergstrom, lead practice consultant at VM Practice Consulting. I have spent the last 20 years in healthcare and the last decade leading medical practices. I started my career working in inpatient pediatric rehab at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and Shirley Ryan Ability Lab (formerly The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago). Following those front line roles I moved into a staffing role at The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and then into a contract labor role with a nationwide hospital brand. Having a desire to return closer to patient care while merging my administrative knowledge of healthcare I began managing various sized medical practices in the specialties of pediatric cardiology, pulmonology and dermatology. I have a desire to help practices grow and collaborate with dedicated healthcare professionals to deliver exceptional patient care and financial results for the practice.
