Dawn Knight, CEO and administrator of Mokena, Ill.-based Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery, discusses her three key ideas for running a successful business and where she will be focused in 2019.
Question: What are your three core concepts for being successful in business?
Dawn Knight: 1. Develop a strategy and share the strategy with your team. Work the strategy daily.
2. Be open and transparent with your team. Everyone has a vital role!
3. Celebrate successes regularly.
Q: What is the top focus for you and your ASC in 2019?
DK: My top focus is business development and aligning with surgeons, payers and services that support our vision and leverage our unique position. We have a five-bed extended stay recovery care area where patients can stay for up to 72 hours. We are focused on spine and orthopedic cases that would typically go to the hospital.
