"ICW has been extremely supportive in providing quality care to our patients and keeping our practice open during turbulent times. It is comforting as a small business to have this resource. Competing against large chain healthcare companies has become increasingly difficult financially, yet we all incur the same expenses. We may not have been a self-sustaining practice that has been around for over 35 years if it weren't for ICW."
ICW brings independent local healthcare providers together to collaborate, share resources, and help each other grow.
ICW gives providers more control over their patients’ care. We provide the resources and support independent providers need to build their practices.
