Ira Pasternack has been in urgent care marketing since before LinkedIn existed, and today, he’s helping clinics rethink growth by leaning into a service line that most still overlook: occupational medicine.
As the founder of WebForDoctors and a long-time leader in urgent care strategy, Ira has spent over two decades helping practices grow volume, build smarter websites, and scale services like Occ Med that can stabilize revenue and drive new business, even in the summer slump. In this episode, he joins Nick and Michael to unpack why Occ Med is not just a side hustle. It’s a legitimate B2B growth engine when done right.
Together, they get into the practical and often misunderstood realities of launching or scaling Occ Med inside an urgent care setting. That includes what clinics get wrong, why marketing it takes a completely different approach than urgent care, and how to think about employer relationships the right way.
🔥 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
💼 Why Occ Med is a B2B strategy and how it helps balance seasonality in urgent care
