Stacey Ritter

Stacey Ritter, MS, ATC, ITAT

Concussion Navigation Services

When I decided to open my own business, after 30 years of being employed by others, I knew that I would need help. I saw a reply that Clark had posted on NATA Gather, and remembered we had met many years ago, and that he was an AT as well as an entrepreneur. I reached out to see if this might be a good solution, and started working with Clark right away. From the very beginning steps, it was a great reassurance to have a trusted and experienced partner set me up for success.

Whether it was leasing clinic space, marketing strategies, accounting or project management, Clark was always there to point me in the right direction. My practice broke even in its very first year, and patient visits have already doubled going into my second year. He is there to brainstorm, reassure, strategize and coach me through my new career journey of business ownership. Without Clark, it is unlikely that the path thus far would have been as smooth. For other ATs just starting out as entrepreneurs, I recommend TCGA to help you build a solid foundation for future success.

Elevated Performance and Rehabilitation

I am Owner and Founder of the Positional Release Therapy Institute located in Ogden, Utah. Knowing Clark Simpson from serving on the NATA Education and Research Foundation Board with him, where he served as Vice President of Finance, I contacted Clark to have The Clark Group Associates (TCGA) to provide PRTi consultation and strategic planning to improve our bottom line and branding. At the time, PRTi was the sole brand of the organization, running our clinic operation under the PRTi brand, a company initially formed to provide continuing education, not clinical services to the patient population. With Clark’s guidance, we branded our clinical services, which was the highest revenue producer of the organization, to Elevated Performance and Rehabilitation.

Clark and TCGA were exceptional in helping us make this shift in our company and rebranding from start to finish. The level of investigation and detail that Clark sought from our team enabled him to effectively and efficiently, lead our team towards actions that have reshaped our companies for the better. I believe the level of professionalism and just hands down common sense and clarity Clark brought to our mission and vision of our companies was critical in our future growth. We have seen TCGA’s influence since the provision of their consultation services grow our business and help to move us into the black. We are excited to implement their insightful recommendations and plan further and look forward to a lasting business relationship with them moving forward.

For anyone looking to grow or maximize their business potential, hands down, TCGA is the consultation company for your business.

Executive Director of Ambulatory Ancillary

“I have been associated with Clark Simpson for over 30 years both as a business partner and colleague. Clark, without a doubt, possesses a natural “vision” for business development and operations. His “eye” for business opportunities, ability to set successful goals, ability to implement strategic and efficient operations and his sincere caring for all those he works with is a “home run” combination that would serve any business or entrepreneur to the highest level.”

Kivett Kinetic Solutions is proud to collaborate with several healthcare providers, including sports medicine specialists, primary care physicians, chiropractic physicians, podiatrists, and dentists. Kivett Kinetic Solutions LLC has been in business since 2008, delivering “MAGIK” to clients by inspiring, motivating, and educating them to become the BEST version of themselves possible in mind, body, and spirit! I am humbled that Clark Simpson contacted me on January 21, 2020 on behalf of the Indiana Athletic Trainers Association (IATA). Clark was working with the IATA as the Manager of Strategic Business Development for the IATA to seek insight and further explore opportunities to keep athletic training thriving in the state of Indiana and located me through social media. At that time, I was very disconnected from other athletic trainers in Indiana while trying to make it as a business owner in private practice. I’m living the entrepreneur dream after creating a cash-based private practice business model dating back to 2008 and living life to its fullest. My business came to light after surviving 8 spinal injuries, a head injury, and fibromyalgia from a motor vehicle accident in 2005. I lost my job, and no healthcare organization wanted to hire me, so to stay in the profession, I started my own business and have been navigating “uncharted waters and writing the maps” since. I often share that you attract the energy you give out, and Clark is just who I needed when he came into my life in 2020! Not only has he become a positive force in my development as a business owner, but first and foremost, I’m proud to call him a close friend in faith! He treats me as an individual…he checks in on me when I need it and reminds me to think of MY NEEDS FIRST over my business, which reinforces me to evaluate my work and life balance to prevent burnout in the profession! There are moments as a business owner and entrepreneur when the stress becomes so great that I need someone to vent or bounce ideas with to ensure I’m on the right track. We all must fail… fail…fail…to succeed, but I enjoy learning from different perspectives of those who have already failed forward into success and are thriving, and Clark does not disappoint there! Clark Simpson, as well as his HUGE network of legendary colleagues and friends, provides limitless opportunities to soar with greatness as high as one is able to dream! He has connected me with so many great people to work alongside, mentor, and learn from so that we as a group can soar higher together while staying true to our individual goals and dreams. If there is a document I need, an idea brewing, or a legal question that concerns me, Clark is a quick text, email, or phone call away so that I can enjoy the clarity and peace of mind I need when I need it. It’s hard to comprehend how far Clark has brought the healthcare profession forward in Indiana and on a national level from the bottom up! He is truly iconic and legendary in his life’s work! The relationships he continues to share as he serves in the many capacities he does are simply invaluable. I am so humbled and grateful that he watched my webinar and called me that day to work together as a force to make lives better for so many people. There is so much toxicity in the healthcare business world, and every single time I get the chance to talk or see Clark or his team in person, it’s such a breath of fresh air and music to my ears! Some weeks just a quick text is the only “recharge” I need to keep pushing through the storms of business that present. For what it’s worth, ALL healthcare professionals and business owners go through storms…often unpredicted, but with Clark and his team, I’m ALWAYS ready to surge through them to greater heights! I have experienced so much more wealth in more ways than I can count since meeting Clark Simpson, his team, his friends, and the tribe he attracts! I’m grateful for each new day that we get to serve together in our faith, family, and fortunes, and thankful to be involved with the IATA and NATA again!
