After nearly 25 years in the health care industry, Phyllis Rameizl founded PR&A. She recalls why she launched the firm in 1988, "I saw firsthand the increasing number of changes and challenges facing the industry and realized that solutions required efficient and effective clinician-friendly systems — systems that adapt to industry needs and trends while ensuring professionals ability to practice in accordance with their professional standards. Creating available solutions and systems that merge good management and clinically logical approaches was, and still is, my source for success."

Experienced
Phyllis’ ability to realize and provide the necessary "solutions" came from extensive experience and top-notch training. A graduate of the prestigious NYU Bellevue School of Nursing, she learned not only the art and science of nursing, but also the basic skills of survival and success in what she considers, "one of the most challenging and beauracratic healthcare arenas." Phyllis’ clinical and management experience in acute and Long-term care is a story of progressive growth and achievement in some of the nation’s leading institutions.

Educated
Upon receiving a BA in nursing, Phyllis began her career as an RN, while concurrently continuing her academic studies at C.W. Post College and Adelphi and Syracuse Universities. She earned a dual Master’s degrees in Community Health and Education, and Geriatric Clinical Specialist certification. Phyllis then pursued post-graduate studies in systems analysis, management and business communications.

Proven
Phyllis’ expertise has earned her the privilege and responsibility of serving on national, state, city, and community agencies and boards. She has published articles on long term care management and has received several awards and recognition for outstanding achievements that benefit the health care industry. Phyllis has served as an adjunct faculty member at Long Island University and visiting faculty to Hofstra, George Washington, and Syracuse Universities, among others. At Long Island University, she taught Quality Assurance in Health Care and Health Care Marketing. She is a contributing author to the Encyclopedia of Elder Care, to be published by New York University later this year.

The strengths that Phyllis brings to the long term care industry are, according to several PR&A clients, "unparalleled." Besides her commitment to excellence by "doing what’s right", she has the unique ability to combine a theory-based approach to systems analysis while implementing simple and effective strategies and techniques for achieving desired outcomes. The CEO of a leading, high-performing healthcare and rehabilitation center recently stated:
  "Ms. Ramzel has been significantly instrumental in our long-standing success."

Aside from an "insatiable passion" for her work, from a personal perspective Phyllis is the proud and tireless mother of five, and grandmother to two. Her concerns for maintaining a wellness environment extend beyond her profession and concretely to her garden and her active support for environmental causes. She enjoys tennis and golf.
