WholeHealth 360

Morgan Stone, a Family Nurse Practitioner, had a vision for something different. She wanted to create a healthcare clinic that didn’t follow the typical rules of insurance, billing, or even appointments. What she imagined was a place where patients could receive holistic care tailored to their needs—an entirely new approach. But turning such a big idea into a reality was a challenge, and figuring out where to start felt overwhelming. 

That’s when Morgan connected with the Tennessee Small Business Development Center (TSBDC) and met Landy Fuqua. From the start, Landy’s team stepped in to help Morgan organize her ideas into a workable plan. They guided her through the process of creating a business plan that not only captured her vision but also set her up to secure the financing she needed. 

With their support, Morgan obtained a loan and officially opened Cornerstone WholeHealth 360 on August 10, 2023. Her clinic, located in a rural area, is already making waves as a functional health practice focused on improving lives in a new way. 

For Morgan, the experience of working with TSBDC was transformative. She shared, “Thinking about starting a medical clinic from scratch is overwhelming, but designing an entirely new paradigm shift in healthcare that doesn’t follow typical insurance, payment, appointment, and billing guidelines is paralyzing! Landy’s team helped me craft a business model that I couldn’t even put down on paper. They held my hand and turned a passionate vision into a thriving, sustaining, and life-changing holistic healthcare clinic.” 

Now, with the clinic up and running, Morgan is focused on the future. She’s excited to help even more people achieve better health and is ready to grow her practice in ways that continue to serve her community. Meanwhile, TSBDC remains by her side, committed to providing ongoing support as her business expands. 

Morgan’s journey shows what’s possible with a clear vision and the right guidance. Cornerstone WholeHealth 360 is more than a clinic—it’s a beacon of change in healthcare, made possible by teamwork and determination.
