Practice Continuity Program
The AOA Center for Independent Practice has created this Practice Continuity Program to assist AOA members whose successful practices might not stay open if the doctor retires. The goal is to find a suitable doctor for the practice who will maintain access to eyecare and AOA membership in the community.
One practice continuity option for doctors is to use an outside consultant to assist with preparing a practice for sale and finding a suitable buyer. Thrive Practice and Life Development will provide a substantial discount to AOA members referred from the Center for Independent Practice. Please complete the referral request form below. Contact Rodney Peele if you have questions.
