Purity Patient Advocates

Purity Patient Advocates’ comprehensive assessment method and the “Plan of Action” that it produces are designed to identify areas that many physicians and medical practitioners overlook (or miss) due to patient appointment time constraints and lack of training on complex illness. Their goal is to help clients who are suffering unnecessarily find a correct diagnosis and treatment plan with an integrative or functional medicine physician who aims to get to the root cause of their symptoms.

Website | Facebook | Instagram

Sylvia Reisman, Founder & Chief Patient Advocate, Purity Patient Advocates

Our current healthcare system is fragmented and failing millions of people suffering from complex illness. The conventional American medicine model is not designed to effectively evaluate and correctly diagnose a complex patient. It is only designed to treat symptoms and not get to the root cause.

This has created the perfect storm: Millions of invisibly ill people suffering unnecessarily, and in particular women, are left chronically ill and lacking a correct diagnosis as they run from doctor to doctor in search of answers. Many are gaslighted, dismissed or told “It’s all in your Head or it’s just anxiety or stress.”

Sylvia’s company’s mission is to help complex clients obtain a correct diagnosis and improve their quality of life. Sylvia has always served as an advocate for her clients. Her professional career gravitated towards building lasting relationships with internal and external customers, serving as a trusted advisor and educator. She is passionate about building trust with her clients and going the extra mile to find effective solutions for them.

Her past career positions were in marketing and sales, including stints as an Account Manager with Reebok Southern Division, Member & Board Services Director of the Georgia Association of REALTORS, Development Officer for a children’s hospital in Savannah and National Account Manager with Concentra Occupational Health.

In 2006, She became mysteriously ill with unusual symptoms and ran from doctor to doctor in Florida and Georgia with no concrete diagnosis. She found herself suffering physically, emotionally and financially as a result. Desperate for answers, she became an avid researcher and discovered functional medicine, a treatment approach that goes outside traditional boundaries to identify root causes of a medical condition. After experiencing the benefits of functional medicine, she felt a sense of obligation to help people with complex medical conditions, many of whom had been misdiagnosed.

This led her to develop a comprehensive assessment, which she utilizes with her complex clients. A customized “Plan of Action” is developed and executed from the assessment results. Sylvia decided to start Purity Patient Advocates LLC, a patient advocacy service that replicates closely the navigation process she learned from personal experience. To validate and find improvements for her service delivery process, she joined the Alliance of Professional Health Advocates which provides peer-based and structured training events.

As a result, Sylvia believes her clients can be confident that an empathetic and professional health advocate is available to them through her company.

Just a bit more on the personal side… Sylvia is an Air Force Brat, grew up in Savannah and enjoys hiking and cycling.

Alma Sucic, a financial advisor with Northwestern Mutual, joined host John Ray to share her inspiring story of resilience: coming to the United States as a Bosnian refugee, surviving and recovering from a major automobile accident, and the passion she subsequently developed for helping individuals and family with financial protection. Alma discussed why life insurance is so vital for all ages, income protection through disability and the difference between personal and company coverages, planning for retirement, long term care needs, and much more.

North Fulton Business Radio is produced and broadcast by the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Northwestern Mutual

Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want, and the life you never thought you could. When people feel better about their money, good things happen – they become more confident and feel more secure. Taking away the everyday financial stress that most people experience (1 out of every 3, in fact), helps them breathe easier, sleep better, and feel happier.

They believe in doing the right thing. To them, the right thing is making sure their clients won’t have to worry about their finances. That they won’t have to wonder if the lives they see for themselves, and their families, is possible—they’ll know it is. That’s because the financial strategies we recommend are based on each client’s life and priorities, and every financial plan is specifically designed to help them reach their unique goals.

Alma Sucic, Financial Advisor, Northwestern Mutual

Alma is a Bosnian Refugee that came to the USA at age 21 after going through the war in Bosnia. She works on her development and learning new cultures and new systems. It was through her own hardship and a car accident that almost cost her own life that she realized the importance of having protection in place.

That is one of the main reasons she chose to become an advocate and Financial Fiduciary Advisor and educate people on what’s possible and what’s needed to protect themselves, their livelihood, income, loved ones and to leave a legacy.

Questions and Topics in this Interview

Why everyone needs life insurance
Income protections through disability and the difference between personal and company protections
