Mick Raich

I have been in the health care field since 1981, working my way up from an orderly into hospital administration and then into the field of practice management. Over the last 29 years, I have made a plethora of mistakes and have learned from them along the way. My specialty is the business side of the pathology and laboratory world. I have spent the last 15 years managing pathology and laboratory practices. This world has sure changed since I got started…

Now I own a business, Vachette Pathology. We are a consulting and management firm for hospitals, pathology practices and laboratories. We are not a billing company. I now spend my time at the 10,000-foot level looking at practices and their business choices to help them stay financially stable. I am proud to say I have worked in 46 states and helped more than 200 practices over the past 15 years.
