Most healthcare partnerships fail before the first deal is signed.
Not because of money.
Because of trust.
That is why we are excited to feature Vana Blanker in an upcoming episode with Health Board Advisors.
Vana is Co-CEO of Focus International Global, Director of Scientific Expansion at ABO US representing more than 400,000 dentists, and Director at Global AnatomiX.
For more than 20 years, she has helped healthcare leaders build relationships across the United States, Brazil, and Portugal through medical education, anatomical training, and international collaboration.
She understands something many healthcare companies learn too late: global healthcare growth is not transactional. It is relational.
In this upcoming conversation, Vana shares:
👏 Why healthcare expansion fails without cultural understanding.
👏 How clinicians create trust faster than traditional sales models.
👏 Why medical education opens doors business alone cannot.
👏 What healthcare founders misunderstand about entering new markets.
👏 How aligned relationships create stronger long-term healthcare ecosystems.
We are proud to have Vana as a Core Advisor Fellow inside Health Board Advisors.
