The kickoff meeting shapes the first three months of the relationship. The goal isn't to get acquainted; it's to understand how the clinic actually wins patients and to pin down who's responsible for what. Don't hold the meeting unless the clinic owner or manager, at least one doctor, and the patient coordinator are in the room.
