About Dr. Joseph "Joe" Pazona
Joe creates jobs for burned-out healthcare professionals. He also helps frustrated healthcare administrators provide much-needed medical services in rural communities. Physicians and other healthcare professionals are leaving clinical medicine because they feel taken advantage of by a broken healthcare system. Simultaneously, rural healthcare executives are struggling to recruit high-quality physicians to their communities. Declining supply, increasing demand. This is not sustainable. The solution: prioritizing the healthcare team, leveraging technological solutions (e.g. telemedicine), and engaging in collaborative conversations with physicians and administrators.
As a physician-entrepreneur-CEO with over 15 years of experience caring for patients in rural, mid-size, and metropolitan markets, Joe understands the challenges and nuances of building a healthcare model and team to solve these issues. Before the pandemic, he formed VirtuCare, a company that partners with rural healthcare systems to implement outpatient urology clinics and surgical services. They have successfully launched services at 6 different sites across 4 healthcare systems. VirtuCare has created a new physician position of tele-urologist and offers consistent, remote work for urologists with a dynamic team.
In August 2020, Joe opened Pazona MD Urology in downtown Nashville during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic with no previous business training. Within 3 years, the company has opened 2 additional offices and has recruited 6 advanced practice providers and an additional urologist all while receiving over 1000 5-star Google reviews. The mission is to scale into other specialties throughout Tennessee and additional markets as we deliver accessible healthcare with a smile.
