“I am excited to be surrounded by fellow entrepreneurs, to learn, and to be inspired.”
Lara Hochman, Class of 2005
About the FoundHER(s)
Entrepreneurship came out of a need to be a part of the solution to a growing problem. In the United States, we are having a mass exodus of physicians from the practice of medicine due to lack of autonomy and burnout. I saw a solution to one facet of this problem and set out to do my part. I was already putting in many hours to help friends find physicians to join their practices. Word spread that I was doing this, and next thing I know I had started a business to be able to expand my impact.
About the Company
As a dedicated Family Medicine physician, Dr. Lara Hochman is passionate about reshaping the narrative surrounding physician burnout and dissatisfaction. Witnessing the toll it takes on the medical community, she became an advocate for physicians’ well-being and autonomy. She founded Happy Day Health, a business that specializes in connecting physicians with well-run, physician-owned private practices. Her mission is to empower doctors to reclaim their focus on patient care, providing an antidote to burnout. It’s not just a match; it’s a prescription for a fulfilling professional and personal life.
