The secret of growing a start-up by 44x in 3 years While managing two start-ups simultaneously, and starting a family, David Thorpe built Upperline Health from the ground up with a mission to disrupt specialty healthcare by bringing value-based care to narrower segments within the healthcare system. Over the past 5 years, Upperline Health branched out across 6 states, and was named the fastest growing practice out of its home base in Nashville, TN. Upperline Health's 3-year growth rate is a staggering 4,438%, and today it is the nation’s largest practice dedicated to lower extremity care with providers in AL, TN, IN, CA, FL, and GA. How did he do it? David’s work and personal life are not in conflict. He describes a love for his work and for his family that does not require him to put up arbitrary walls, nor to divide himself between the two. His compassion and dedication to delivering the highest-quality healthcare services to the community have skyrocketed Upperline Health to the top of the private sector of the healthcare industry.
