Tom DiAngelis has been in this profession for more than 40 years. He owned practices in two states, partnered with a larger regional group, served as COO, and ultimately as a company lead before retiring in 2025.

This episode is for physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and mental health practice owners who want the long view- someone who has been through nearly every phase a practice can go through: ownership, partnership, executive leadership, and industry leadership, and can speak to what actually mattered across all of it.
