Introduction & Background
In my conversation with Sabrina Runbeck, PA‑C I learned how she moved from patient care into empowering providers to raise funds, tell their story boldly, and build the support structure their vision deserves. Her journey reflects the path of healthcare professionals who want more than traditional roles—they want to build legacy and lead change.
Why She Made the Shift
Sabrina shared that many clinicians she met had powerful ideas but lacked the visibility or strategy to fund them. They felt stuck waiting for permission, uncertain how to pitch their vision, or invisible in the broader support ecosystem. Her desire to bridge that gap—to move vision into funded reality—drove her to coach and guide others in visibility and fundraising.
What Her Model Looks Like
Her model centers on helping clinicians define their story, amplify their value, and build systems for visibility and resource access. She works with healthcare professionals to craft messaging, build a presence, identify funding sources, and design funding strategy aligned with their mission. For physicians and healthcare visionaries who are building new models or businesses, this model shows how funding and visibility become the fuel for impact.
Building the Vision
Sabrina described how she built this model. She first clarified her mission—helping clinicians raise funds to serve at higher levels. Then she established frameworks for storytelling, visibility, and funding strategy. She emphasized launching with a clear value proposition, testing messaging, engaging early supporters, and refining the fundraising model based on results. Her approach underscores starting small, learning fast, and scaling intentionally.
Impact and Experience
The outcomes she described are powerful. Clinicians working with her reported greater clarity on their value, more confidence to ask for support, and successful funding that enabled their initiatives. For Sabrina, guiding others through visibility and funding has deepened her sense of purpose and broadened her reach. Her story reminds us that when healthcare professionals design not just care models but funding models too, they unlock new levels of impact and freedom.
Advice for Physicians Redesigning Their Work
Sabrina encourages healthcare professionals to begin by clarifying their mission and the change they want to lead. She advises building visibility through your story, value, and presence rather than waiting to be discovered. She highlights crafting a funding strategy aligned with your vision, engaging early supporters, and iterating based on feedback. She stresses that raising funds is not about begging—it is about inviting others into meaningful work you are already doing.

Visibility and funding are essential components of building purpose‑driven healthcare initiatives
