LeGrande is expanding her business into
telemedicine. Telemedicine allows health
care professionals to expand their reach be-
yond their offices to evaluate, diagnose and
treat patients in any location using telecom-
munications technology. Since her practice
will be geared toward tourists, her primary
market would be the hotels and resorts in
the area. When a guest complains of a
minor illness or non-life-threatening issue,
medical help is as close as their cell phone
or tablet. A video conversation can lead to
diagnosis and treatment in the comfort of
their hotel. Telemedicine has been shown to
reduce the cost of health care and increase
efficiency through better health manage-
ment. What is more amazing is that Dr.
LeGrande recognizes that consumers want
this service. All of this is part of the mission
of Dr. LeGrand’s wholistic approach to med-
icine, treating the whole person—soul, spirit
and body.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN —
COMMUNITY ACTIVISM
Did you know that it is fatal to enter a war
without the will to win? An army is needed
to win a war, and no army is better than its
soldiers. Dr. LeGrande knows well about the
street warfare going on in the community.
She knew that if she really had the will to
win this war, she would need soldiers. That
is when she created Changing the Game
for a New Generation (CTG). The mission
was to bring a generational solution to a
generational problem with the focus being
our children because she believed that they
are the greatest change agents in our future
community. She did not start this army from
scratch. CTG really began as an outreach of
her previous Fruit of Glory Ministries. This
outreach was a call to action to address the
inter-community violence within the black
communities and in 2016 formally orga-
nized as its own 501c3 organization. The
casualties of street warfare are extended to
the children left behind. Besides her annu-
al gala where she brings together children
and her army of community sponsors, the
organization also has a curriculum for pub-
lic schools attended by at-risk children. I Am
The Change is the catalyst for the initiative
Project I.A.M. (Inspiring, Amazing, Minds)
during which children learn valuable truths
that will develop and strengthen self-confi-
dence, resilience and academic scholarship.
There are measurable outcomes proving
the effectiveness of this program with the
goal to implement this in every school na-
tionwide. Dr. LeGrande realizes that the war
will not be won overnight. Martin Luther
King’s dream of desegregated prosperous
neighborhoods is yet to be realized. Stud-
ies have documented that adverse child-
hood experiences can lead to an increase
of major health problems such as asthma,
diabetes, heart disease, and mental health
disorders. For Dr. LeGrande, this just brings
everything that she is about full circle, both
sides of the coin.
HER WHY
As you can read from this interview, there
are two sides to this same coin. When
asked WHY—and there is always a WHY—
Dr. Sydel LeGrande remarks that the motto,
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Compassion care is
to provide a multi dimensional and
holistic approach to treating patients
with chronic pain.
Ultimately it is our greatest goal and
desire to help our patients have the
best life possible with as little pain has
possible.
WHAT IS PAIN?
Chronic Pain is defined as pain that
persist after 90 days.
PAIN is complicated and subjective.
In general it is an unpleasant sensory
and emotional experience primarily
associated with tissue, bone or nerve
damage More than 50 million Ameri-
cans have chronic pain.

“I live IN purpose,” sums it up. Money is
just a tool towards the purpose, which is
fulfilling the vision. Provision follows
vision. You grow in places of purpose.
Destiny is the end game. Purpose and
opportunity each lead toward destiny. At
the end of the day, Dr. Sydel LeGrande is
changing the world from one side of the
coin to the other. n
