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.

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.

Black Dress Consultants

Black Dress Consultants handle the business of death so you don’t have to. By coordinating with attorneys, financial advisors, accountants, etc., they offload the administrative tasks that come with legacy planning and after loss, so you can focus less on the logistics and more on creating space to live worry-free and grieve peacefully.

Website | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

Rachel Donnelly, Owner / CEO, Black Dress Consultants

Some days Rachel Donnelly feels like a real-life Little Orphan Annie whose life should be subtitled “Death Becomes Her.” (She’s joking! Sort of.)

Growing up, Rachel used to accompany her father on his house calls and hospital rounds, which gave me a deep understanding of compassion and leaning into hard spaces. When she was 16, my father passed away at the age of 48. A few years later, she moved my grandmother to an assisted living home where she passed shortly after. Several years later, her mother was diagnosed with cancer and passed away shortly thereafter. Her passing left Rachel with five houses to clean out and sell, as well as her role as caregiver for her uncle.

After Rachel’s uncle passed away, she assumed the role of Co-Executrix of his estate. Needless to say… she’s dealt with a lot of death. And in these instances — especially the two where she was Executor — there were so many decisions to make and tasks to complete. And she was doing it all while trying to work full time, raise two small kids, run a house and stay married (because let’s be honest… life never stops, not even for death).

Rachel vividly remembers standing in the parking lot of the bank after spending hours trying to (unsuccessfully) open an estate banking account and thinking to herself, “Why isn’t there someone who can help project manage this dumpster fire?!” Which is how Black Dress Consultants came to be.

She created this business because this is the service she wishes she had available to her then. Many times over, Rachel has been where you are right now. She understands how overwhelming and emotionally taxing it can be. But you don’t have to do this alone.

The Black Dress Consultants are here to help you manage the expected and unexpected of end-of-life. Whether you’re looking for someone to help legacy plan, or you’re dealing with the loss of a loved one and don’t know where to start, they have ample experience in taking tasks off your plate so you can free up space to breathe.

Payroc/TWC Atlanta Inc.

Payroc is a full-service payment processing company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. They also have a headquarter office right here in Atlanta, GA. They pride themselves in taking a consultative approach with business owners to improve their payment acceptance processes while mitigating the cost of payment acceptance, specifically credit card acceptance.
