Aviary Photo_130241736578666099A rare native Atlantan, Allie Atkins ventured as far as Macon to earn a degree from Mercer University.  She started her career in the healthcare field publishing medical journals.  A number of years ago, Allie got involved in the Real Estate Book that you’ve probably seen at Kroger or Walgreen’s.  This venture naturally led into a resource book for seniors, Senior Living Choices.  About four years ago, Allie had the opportunity to acquire the company.  After publishing Senior Living Choices in Texas, Florida and the Carolinas, the book is finally making its debut in Atlanta this month.  Interestingly enough, the company is headquartered right here in Duluth!  Allie tells us this book is unique in a number of ways.  First, it is published monthly, rather than quarterly or annually, making the information in it more timely and relevant.  Second, it is widely available around the city, not just in hospitals and rehab centers, but in places you frequently shop – like the grocery store, pharmacy and Target or Walmart.

For more information about Senior Living Choices, or to contact Allie directly, please call her at 770-500-2075, email her at allie@slc-atl.com, or visit the website: www.seniorlivingchoices.com.

Aviary Photo_130234153067574018Susie Brown tells us that her parents called her a “late bloomer”.  Originally from Mississippi, she didn’t start her college career until she was 30.  After earning a degree from Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi, she went on to Wichita State University, earning a graduate degree in Healthcare Administration.  This was just the first of many moves!  Initially, she went back to Mississippi to work with a small United Way organization.  From there, she went on to Kankakee, Illinois, Utica, New York, Somerville, New Jersey, then to Tennessee then to New York City.  After spending 20 years with the United Way, she then took a job with the Urban League in New York.  Whew!

More recently, Susie felt compelled to come to Atlanta to help her sister care for their mother, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.  She had tried to fly down to Atlanta a number of times for interviews, but always seemed to lose out to the “local candidate”.  It was at that point that Susie decided to become the “local candidate”, and moved here.  In June, 2011, she took on the role of Executive Director of the Star NeuroScience Foundation.  This organization is the brainchild of Dr. Marshall Nash, of NeuroStudies.net.  His vision was to create an organization that would help raise awareness of the value of clinical research as part of a physician’s regular practice.  Why?  Because the more physicians that incorporate clinical research, and the more patients that participate in the studies, the quicker some of the new drugs can make it to the market and benefit those who so desperately need it.  Susie notes that it can take up to 15 years, and $1 billion to bring a drug to market.  NSF’s goal is to try to help reduce both the time and cost to put these new drugs in the hands of patients.

For more information about Star NeuroScience Foundation, check out their website at www.NSFoundation.net, call Susie directly at (404) 824-2040 or come to their Networking Mixer at F&B Atlanta next Tuesday after work.  F&B Atlanta is located at 3630 Peachtree Rd NE, and the eent will start at 6pm and last until 8 pm.

Robinson, DebbieAmazing!  After nearly four years of Eugeria! Radio, nearly every show we learn something new!  Debbie Robinson, partner with Robinson & Miller Law Firm, shares the importance of careful planning BEFORE applying for VA Aid & Attendance benefits – particularly with respect to the ownership of real property.

Originally from Massachusetts, Debbie earned an undergraduate degree from Adelphi University in New York, and went on to law school at the University of Chicago.  After moving to Atlanta thirty years ago, she became a widow with two children, at a young age.  This experience highlighted for her the issues women often face after the death of a spouse.  This prompted her to focus her law career on helping families to be prepared for certain life inevitabilities, including estate planning, trust & wills and veterans benefits.
