Ishani is obsessed with the part of the patient journey most clinics ignore: everything after the first adjustment. She designs the care-plan reminder, membership, and reactivation campaigns that close the visit-14 drop-off cliff. A former lifecycle-marketing manager in subscription health, she translates retention math into reminder cadences a front desk can actually run without burning out.
