Richard Kube, MD, Founder, CEO, Prairie Spine & Pain Institute (Peoria, Ill.): We have added another surgeon to our practice, so we are striving to help his practice grow and thrive.
Additionally, we are also moving forward with an adult stem cell program for pain management. Last major category is finalizing some contracting with our bundled payment model. We hope that some early traction translates into another practice vertical.
