\"\"<\/a>Helping Kids Grow: 701 Therapy Strengthens Care Options in Hazen<\/h3>\n

Hazen<\/strong> \u2013 When Lindsey Hysjulien decided to open her own pediatric therapy clinic in early 2025, it was more than a business decision; it was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. With more than 25 years of experience as an occupational therapist, Lindsey saw a clear need for child-focused therapy services in her community. She wanted to create a locally owned clinic built on both clinical excellence and community connection. By April, just weeks after filing for her LLC, she officially opened 701 Therapy PLLC in Hazen.<\/p>\n

Lindsey brought with her not only decades of clinical experience but also a strong \"\"<\/a>background\u00a0in\u00a0leadership and entrepreneurship. As a former Mary Kay sales director, she learned the value of persistence, teamwork, and dedication. \u201cI knew what it would take to build something from the ground up,\u201d she said. \u201cThis was evenings, weekends, and short-term sacrifices for long-term success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starting a healthcare practice, however, came with new challenges. Credentialing, licensing, insurance contracts, and financial projections required skills outside her therapy background. That is when Lindsey connected with the ND SBDC through the Hazen Chamber and Community Development office.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Working with advisor Tyler Demars, Lindsey received personalized support in financial planning, budgeting, and strategic growth. \u201cI didn\u2019t realize they would actually look at my numbers and walk through projections with me,\u201d she said. \u201cIt gave me the confidence to see not just where we were now, but what growth could look like six months or a year down the road.\u201d That guidance helped her stay focused and move forward with confidence.<\/p>\n

The clinic has grown quickly since opening. What began with Lindsey as the only therapist has expanded to include additional providers to meet the rising demand for pediatric occupational and speech therapy services. Today, dozens of children are served each week, and plans for further expansion are already underway.<\/p>\n

Beyond the clinic walls, 701 Therapy has become an active part of the Hazen community. Lindsey and her team sponsor events, participate in\"\"<\/a> parades, and cheer on their young clients at school and sporting activities. \u201cThe best part is being able to support kids not just in therapy, but in life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

With steady growth and strong community ties, 701 Therapy PLLC is on track for long-term success.\u00a0Lindsey\u2019s practical approach and commitment to local families keep the clinic focused on what matters most: helping kids reach their full potential.<\/p>\n
