About
Indigo Medical Consulting
I’ve always been passionate about seeing healthcare practices succeed.
I’m Bernadette Beach, founder of Indigo Medical Consulting.
I established Indigo because I wanted to share my business
knowledge and experience with healthcare practitioners and
the people who support them.
Running a healthcare practice involves so much more than
providing excellent patient care. There are people to lead,
finances to understand, systems to manage and decisions to make.
No one person can be expected to have expertise in every area.
My vision was simple: to make experienced business support
and practical guidance accessible to practices of all sizes.
For me, it’s about getting to know the people behind each
practice, understanding their challenges and sharing my
knowledge to help them find solutions that work for them.
