Tanya Mack & Larry Small/HealthGate

HealthGate is a new, online healthcare community that partners with board certified physicians and specialists to offer healthcare savings to patients (insured or not). Almost everyone has a personal story in which they had to manage limited coverage, high deductibles or no HC coverage. People are spending more on healthcare out of pocket and pricing transparency is an issue as most patients are uninformed. HealthGate is a new website that bridges the gap between patients and doctors with pricing transparency. HealthGate and their affiliate physicians also offers “donated savings” opportunities in an effort to “give back” to the communities they serve.

Tanya Mack, President, has over 25 years of healthcare experience in the areas of operations and business transformation. She has worked with physicians, clinics, hospitals, and healthcare companies with such clients as Johnson and Johnson, HCA, National Medical Care, and Pediatrix.

Cameron Hall and Second Wind Dreams Team Up for Dementia Training!

00:00 /

An Atlanta native, Raquel Bustos started her career in administration and corporate meeting planning. Though she was good at it, this was clearly not her life’s work. As she looked to do something that had a more significant impact on people, she landed a job as an Activities Director at a local assisted living. Music played a big role in Raquel’s childhood, so it was only natural that she brought music to her work as an Activities Director. She liked singing so much, she decided to perform on a broader scale. For a number of years she performed in more than 75 senior centers, assisted and independent living facilities. While she loves to perform, even more, she loves to take her audience on a trip down memory lane, getting the audience to perform with her.

About a year ago, Raquel started working with Cameron Hall Assisted Living on a part time basis as a Community Outreach Director. This past September, she began working there on a full-time basis. Cameron Hall is an family-owned and operated community with 94 units, 22 of which are memory care units. Raquel loves the intimate, family environment so much, that she has her own mother staying there!

In addition to her work with Cameron Hall, Raquel has also gotten involved in delivering the Virtual Dementia Tour, developed by PK Beville and Second Wind Dreams. The Virtual Dementia Tour provides a tactile experience for professional and family caregivers to get a first hand look at what their loved ones go through every day. Raquel and Cameron Hall offer this training on a regular basis, and will also bring the Tour to other locations. For more information, or for a tour of Cameron Hall, call Raquel directly at (770) 720-0290, or stop by the community at 240 Marietta Highway Canton, GA 30114.

We want to thank Griswold Home Care for sponsoring today’s show. Griswold Home Care has been a preferred provider of high quality, affordable in-home senior care in Atlanta for 20 years.
