More office locations, growing client base spur new medical, marketing jobs at Neurocore

With two new offices recently opened in the Detroit area, another one about to open in Bloomfield Hills, and three more planned for later this year in other parts of Michigan, it's safe to say that Neurocore is breaking new ground medically and physically.

Neurocore, founded in Grand Rapids by Dr. Tim Royer, uses brain science (theta/beta analysis) and computer technology to collect brain activity data and create customized neurofeedback training to help people focus, sleep better, and manage stress. One of the company's specialties is helping ADHD-diagnosed kids and adults function at levels where medications are no longer needed.

Neurocore now has nine locations statewide, and has grown from 20 employees in 2010 to 60 employees now. Some 15 employees have come aboard in the last 12 months.

After adding its first marketing position some nine months ago, Neurocore now needs a communications coordinator who will work alongside the marketing director, says President Rick Kuiper.

"We're very intentional about creating advocates for our program," says Kuiper. "It's very important that we have folks who tell our story well; not only our staff, but clients who are comfortable sharing their story, as well."

Kuiper says that part of the rapid growth of the company is due to adding Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network to its list of health insurance companies. Furthermore, last July the Food and Drug Administration approved the marketing of theta/beta analysis as a diagnostic tool for ADHD.

"We have something that can change peoples' lives with a quantifiable brain-based diagnostic tool for ADHD and the tools to treat it and provide best support intervention, as well," Kuiper says. "As we open more locations, we'll look to staff them with clinical staff and that naturally creates the need for administrative members to support those clinicians. I see us looking to add some staff that is very technically competent, and with nine locations and additional expansions planned, facilities management services for acquisition and planning is needed."
