Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Loretta Wall.
Dr. Loretta , we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
From an early age, I was profoundly influenced by my mother, a single parent, was a significant source of inspiration. Her relentless work ethic and determination to care for our family, despite any obstacles, instilled in me the belief that our circumstances do not define our future. But also, my grandparents, particularly my grandfather, who faced significant health challenges and was bedridden for much of my childhood. It was during this time that I observed the remarkable care provided by the nurse who came to their house weekly for health promotion & treatment. Her unwavering compassion and professionalism left an indelible mark on me, igniting my aspiration to pursue a career in healthcare.
Following my high school graduation, I enrolled at Alcorn State University, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and became a Board Certified Critical Care Nurse. My clinical journey began in the intensive care unit, where I dedicated over a decade to nurturing patients and honing my skills in high-stakes critical environments. This experience deepened my understanding of the vital role that compassionate care plays in the healing process and reinforced my commitment to human advocacy.
Recognizing the importance of leadership and innovation in healthcare, I continued my education at Arizona State University, earning a Master’s in Healthcare Innovation with a focus on leadership and Entrepreneurial Innovation. This academic pursuit was transformative, providing me with the insights necessary to conceptualize and implement effective healthcare solutions. Subsequently, I attained my Doctorate in Nursing Practice, specializing in family medicine, which further solidified my commitment to delivering holistic and patient-centered care.
Throughout my career, I served in countless healthcare systems across the country. One In particular includes one of the largest healthcare systems in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. While there, I learned to care for individuals across different lifespans, demographic and socioeconomic backgrounds. This experience afforded me the opportunity to see the huge health and wealth disparity.
As a kid, I prayed for Wisdom. However, as an adult, I prayed for alignment. On the pursuit of walking my purpose, I felt a compelling call to transition into full-time entrepreneurship on a quest to be apart of the solution. I envisioned bridging the gap between health and wealth disparities through the establishment of organizations dedicated to wealth & wellness.

Wall Wellness & Associates (Preventive Health & Wellness Healthcare Co.)
I’m a devoted wife and mother of two. I take great pride in my role as a visionary entrepreneur and a leader within my family & my community. My passion lies in leveraging my knowledge, skills and experience to elevate humanity and inspire individuals to take proactive control of building & living the life they deserve. I am excited to continue this journey, dedicated to fostering wellness and prosperity among the families I serve.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road I have traveled has certainly had its challenges. Balancing the roles of a wife, mother, a healthcare provider and businesswoman has often felt challenging. For a time, I struggled to harmonize these responsibilities, and finding that equilibrium was no easy feat.
I’ve found my self striving to be an elite mother of two, one with special needs has been both rewarding and demanding, deepening my understanding of advocacy and resilience.
Professionally, accessing capital as a startup presented significant hurdles, requiring creativity and perseverance to fund my organizations.
A notable setback occurred when I lost my initial practice location due to the owners’ decision to change direction, resulting in months of lost revenue. This experience taught me the importance of adaptability, ownership and strategic planning.
Despite these challenges, I view each obstacle as an opportunity for growth. While the journey has not always been smooth, it has reinforced my commitment to empowering others and bridging health disparities, shaping me into a more compassionate and effective leader.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

What’s next?
Looking ahead, I am excited about the expansion of my team and our services across Texas, Mississippi and other regions of the United States.

I envision a space where both dedicated professionals and those seeking assistance can connect, fostering a community centered on wellness and empowerment.
To achieve this vision, I plan to secure funding to hire more qualified and licensed professionals who align with our values and mission and obtain ownership of a physical location. This will allow us to operate more efficiently, scale & deliver our services to a broader audience.
