Dr. & Dr. Concierge - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

We hear a lot about the disruption economy how Amazon is changing
the face of retail, or how Uber is changing the way we get around.
But there are more subtle yet equally significant changes at work
in a variety of sectors, including philanthropy and medicine. And
it s not necessarily bearded, hipster millennials in skinny legged
pants who are leading this change. In Baton Rouge, two very
different types of doctor are changing the way we approach
philanthropic giving and medicine. Dr. Beverly Brooks Thompson is a
management consultant whose firm, Brooks Thompson Consulting,
specializes in fundraising advising and philanthropic management
consulting for corporate, nonprofit and individual clients. Beverly
founded the firm in 2016, after more than 20 years of fundraising
experience, which, most notably included directing the Forever LSU
Campaign for Louisiana State University, which raised more than 798
million in excess of the campaign s 750 million goal. Dr. Gunjan
Raina is a primary care doctor here in Baton Rouge who is praticing
concierge medicine. Concierge medicine enables patients, for a fee,
to have total 24 7 access to their doctor and more personalized
care. Gunjan grew up in Canada, studied in India, did her residency
in Pittsburgh and built a primary practice in Baton Rouge.
Recently, she opened Heal 360, a concierge practice at the Baton
Rouge General Hospital, and became one of the younger physicians to
affiliate with M.D. VIP a national network of primary care doctors
that follow this new, concierge model. It s fascinating and the way
of the future e at least for those who can afford it. Photos at
