WE ARE INDEPENDENT WELLNESS GROUP

Katie McCleary

Katie McCleary

CEO

I was one of those slow adopters to computers and cell phones and texting. The idea of technology “replacing” human interaction was very frightening to me. As technology became more and more important in our world, I decided to go Sun Tzu on it: “know the enemy”.

I have become a student of healthcare technology to see how it can work alongside our critical human interactions and enhance our ability to care for and love one another.  As such, Independent Wellness Group is a long-planned and well-studied conglomerate of ideas that should help our seniors and families stay well, independent, and informed.  These things (wellness, independence and information) have remained paramount to me for my family.  I believe we all want this and so we are sharing our family plans through this business.

I am very excited to be able to watch and track critical vital signs of our seniors in a non-invasive, high-tech (with low tech issues), and low-cost way.  Remote Health Monitoring is so exciting and insightful, and most importantly, it keeps our aging parents out of the hospital and at home where we all want to be.  Similarly, testing of all kinds helps us make more informed decisions about medications, disease management, and even diet.  And so, it is with great pride and excitement that we introduce Independence and Wellness through our new devoted and determined Group.

Stay Well!

All my best,
Katie McCleary

If I were to introduce myself – I am dedicated to connecting with people, appreciate every aspect of human nature and a constant learner.

My role in our very special “household” is to make sure we stay on top of our clients’ needs, and ahead in the area of RPM and telehealth. We welcome you with a neat and cozy home and care for you like we care for each of us.

I am a mother, a daughter, a patient myself. No one is ever above anyone’s worries and frankly – no one has the key to happiness better than the healthy individual. My values lie in tremendous respect for human life. Watching anyone struggle while aging or through a condition that takes the best of them is incredibly painful to me. So, it is a personal and a professional cause, alongside Katie and our outstanding team of loving hearts, to find a solution. Welcome, dear friends!

 In order to provide YOU the best of care we must be consistent in reflection and planning of self-care.  Although you might not see or hear from me, as you would our operational staff, please know that I am committed to you, behind the scenes, providing our extended family the absolute best and most cost effective services possible.

I am a daughter, a mother of three, and a new Grammy!  Family is what drives and motivates me.  I want the BEST care from the warmest professionals with those that I love.  To this end I commit to you, your family, and our IWG family to be just that.  You are treasured!

Guillermo Vallejo

Director of Community Outreach

Growing up in Bogota, Colombia with a single mother and younger sister, my family ties and loyalties were established early. My mom worked exhaustively to provide for my sister and me, and with the help of my aunt, we moved out of the

projects and into our own home by the time I was ten years old. I vowed then that I would always care for these special women in my life. I moved to the United States in 2005 to teach and coach. This gave me the opportunity to get involved in the health of my aunt who lives here as well. Every night at 7:30, I facetime my mother and my sister to ensure they are well. Becoming a part of Independent Wellness Group is so important to me because as a son, brother and nephew, it is critical that I know the welfare of my family. Seeing and talking with them each day is wonderful, but knowing that their vitals are in control and being monitored by a professional gives me peace of mind…especially in Atlanta with Mom in Bogota. My role is to help other families like mine find this means of connection and translate it in understandable and practical ways. I would be honored to support your family in this!

His life’s philosophy can be summed up in Dr. King’s famous quote, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is ‘what are you doing for others.’ Born with a servant’s heart, medicine just happened to be the field he chose to serve in. He helped tackle the SARS COVID-19 pandemic by forming Emergent Testing and Lux Diagnostics.

Currently, he is partnering with VNHS to help reduce unnecessary ER visits through Remote Home Monitoring, which focuses on daily monitoring, to help protect the patient’s quality of life and independence.
