Ken Stern, President

My wife and I are both cancer survivors and the experience changed my priorities. We received great medical care and I wanted some way to give back – to serve the doctors serving our community. After success in my decades spent in technology development, I founded Great Practices to use my business acumen and experience in problem-solving to help doctors reduce the pain of running their offices, so they can do what they love, care for patients.

I’ve always taken pride in knowing and being able to share the best way of doing whatever it is I’m doing. My earliest memory is watching, fascinated, as an electrician hung basement lights in our new house. Apparently, I was 2 years old. I will still stop to watch and learn from anyone skilled at whatever they do. Whether adopting someone else’s approach and improving on it or inventing a better way myself – I was recently granted my 13th patent – the origin of the idea is irrelevant. It only matters that now I have a new best way that I can use and share.
