Linda Nash is back in the concierge medical practice business.

This time, the Richmond-area entrepreneur has created WellcomeMD, which she said takes concierge medicine to the next level. She has opened two WellcomeMD practices — one in western Henrico County and the other in suburban Chicago — and has plans for more locations in Virginia, Illinois and Florida.

The company acquired his practice, converted it to its format and made Carl an equity owner of that practice.
