The orthodontic partnership network added seven practices, promoted three associate doctors to partners, and invested in multiple facility upgrades.
Corus Orthodontists has expanded its North American network by adding seven new practices across 11 locations on the Pacific Coast and US East Coast. The growth also includes the advancement of associate doctors into ownership roles and capital investments in existing practice facilities.
The addition of the new practices focuses on strengthening the network’s presence in existing markets.
“Welcoming these new Doctor-Partners and their practices to Corus is another meaningful milestone in our continued growth across the US and Canada,” says Feiber Omana, chief corporate development and strategy officer at Corus Orthodontists, in a release. “Their decision to partner reflects the strength of our doctor-led, doctor-owned model. We continue to attract high-performing partners who want to remain independent in spirit while benefitting from a true partnership network built for the long term.”
Associate Doctors Advance to Partnership
Alongside external growth, the network promoted three associate doctors to doctor-partners. This transition is part of the organization’s succession planning strategy to create pathways for associates to become practice leaders.
“Seeing Associate Doctors progress into Doctor-Partner roles is one of the most rewarding aspects of our partnership model,” says Shaun Childs, chief people officer at Corus Orthodontists, in a release. “It demonstrates that we’re not just building practices. We’re building rewarding careers and creating meaningful opportunities for the next generation of orthodontists to gain ownership, lead teams, and shape the future of their practices.”
Investments in Practice Growth
Corus also directed resources into its existing network. The organization completed four practice renovations in Salmon Arm, British Columbia; Portland, Oregon; Grand Rapids, Michigan; and Green Bay, Wisconsin. Additionally, Corus completed a practice expansion in Anchorage, Alaska, and opened a new location in Bedford, New Hampshire.
“Our investment in renovations, expansions, and new locations is about creating the capacity for practices to thrive over the long term,” says Tracy Moawad, chief performance officer at Corus Orthodontists, in a release.
“We’re proud of the momentum we’ve built this year, but our growth is about more than the number of locations in our network,” says Dean Prevost, chief executive officer of Corus Orthodontists, in a release. “It’s about creating opportunities for doctors to build sustainable practices, develop future leaders, and continue delivering exceptional care in the communities they serve.”
