OUR STORY
Keonda and Shawana, born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, have been inseparable since their elementary school days. Their paths converged in the medical field, where they acquired extensive experience serving their communities.
- Keonda holds a master’s degree in business and Certification in Medical Coding & Billing. With over 25 years of experience in management, billing, and coding in the medical industry, Keonda is a seasoned professional.
- Shawana is a dedicated Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of experience providing high-quality, compassionate healthcare to patients from diverse backgrounds.
In 2013, during a lunch meeting, Keonda and Shawana conceived the idea of starting a business together. Initially planning for a Home Care Business, they sought divine guidance and, through divine intervention, were led toward the healthcare sector. After meticulous research and preparation, they established A Better Way Healthcare in 2015 with a singular objective: to establish a more effective means for patients to receive the care and support necessary for improved health and well-being.
What commenced as a small business offering transportation and case management services swiftly expanded into a reputable clinic that provides a safe environment where patients feel valued, heard, and empowered. As CEO and COO, Keonda and Shawana continue to lead with integrity, prayer, and unwavering dedication to excellence.
Their journey of faith and perseverance extended beyond Louisiana. In 2023, they opened their sister clinic in Georgia, expanding their mission to serve and uplift additional communities with the care they deserve.
