Education and Wellness – YOUR way!
Empowering Communities Through Education & Advocacy
Who We Are
Purposeful Concepts LLC educates people of all ages and from all walks of life. We identify community priorities and develop programs aligned with best practice curricula to strengthen families and foster success.
Partnering with like-minded entities and leveraging appropriate data, we deliver proven methodologies that improve outcomes and empower individuals to take charge of their wellness and education.
The Power of Self-Education
As health advocacy becomes increasingly personal, self-education is essential. We guide individuals, particularly youth, to build their own “decision tree”—a framework that helps prioritize what’s most important.
Consider these topics that drive decision-making and awareness:
- Understanding Overall Wellness
- Functional vs. Conventional Medicine
- Self-Care & Lifestyle Modification
- Accountability & Responsibilities
- Addressing Disparities
- Quality Measurement & Improvement
- Individual Uniqueness & Diversity
- SDOH & CHNA Methodologies (Community perspectives)

Purposeful Concepts LLC connects members to multiple resources to increase awareness of the new Data Driven Care Delivery methodology. Healthcare literacy, and caring for oneself or others involves personal decisions. How you develop a corrective wellness plan is quite personal. Determine where you want to start. Are you interested in overall care management or looking for ideas in how to embrace the mind, body or soul to understand the connection to healthier living? Patient and Family Centered Care and wellness outcomes is found through self-discovery. Learning what and how healthcare aligns with government mandates, that are ever-changing, along with where to go for factual information instead of typical news outlets.
How we do it: We provide insight, true stories, and experiences with links to information that are considered best practice, natural, innovative, or upcoming opportunities that align with future mandates and/or expectations. For members, we explain the process and provide links to upcoming changes and/or public comment periods that are targeted specifically within our tiers of membership. Need more?

Long Term Care
“I highly recommend engaging the services of Purposeful Concepts, LLC who assisted us in the navigation of Phase 2 (2017) and Phase 3 (2019) compliance. The New York State Department of Health mentioned the Plan of Correction (POC) we worked together on, that met “…substantial compliance was achieved as of 6/8/2019.”
Barbara Lake’s assistance was key to our success. She has a wealth of knowledge in regulatory measures within multiple care and service areas. She has a skill set related to diverse teams that drive staff to work together, as well as improve community perceptions.”

“Barbara Lake introduced me to the concepts of best practices and compliance with State and Federal Guidelines.
After resisting for some time, I agreed to do a ‘deep dive’ and discovered a better way to practice.
Through embracing new guidelines. I consistently received the highest marks in patient satisfaction and improved reimbursement with better efficiency in care and reduced administrative costs. At the same time, I gained a better quality of life. Barbara’s persistence was a key to making success happen.”
