New Orleans Author Carlene K. White Encourages Families to Prioritize Healing, Wellness, and Self-Care
Healthcare Leader and Founder of Veritas Integrated Health Shares a Powerful Message About Creating Healthier Families Through Intentional Living
Families today are balancing countless responsibilities, from caring for children and loved ones to managing work, relationships, and everyday challenges.
New Orleans author, wellness advocate, and healthcare leader Carlene K. White is encouraging families to make their health and well-being a priority through her powerful message of healing, gratitude, and self-care.
With more than three decades of experience in healthcare, White has witnessed firsthand the importance of prevention, healthy choices, and taking time to care for the whole person.
Through her books and wellness platform, she is helping families recognize that creating a healthier lifestyle begins with awareness, intentional decisions, and a commitment to becoming whole.
White is the author of Be Well Be Whole, a health and wellness journal designed to encourage gratitude, reflection, and personal growth.
The journal helps individuals take a closer look at their wellness journey while encouraging families to have meaningful conversations about health, purpose, and creating positive habits.
Her book, Stop Killing Yourself by Accident challenges families to examine everyday choices that may impact their long-term health.
Through honest conversations about lifestyle, wellness, and personal responsibility, White encourages individuals to take proactive steps toward protecting their health and the health of future generations.
In her book, Healing for the Helper, White addresses an important message for parents, caregivers, and those who spend their lives taking care of others.
She reminds families that self-care is not selfish and that caring for yourself allows you to be more present and effective for the people who depend on you.
“Many times, we are so focused on taking care of everyone else that we forget to take care of ourselves,” says White. “When families prioritize wellness, healing, and healthy choices, they create a stronger foundation for themselves and future generations.”
As the founder of Veritas Integrated Health, White continues her mission of empowering individuals and families through education, wellness advocacy, and meaningful conversations.
Inspired by the Latin word Veritas, meaning “truth,” her work encourages people to be honest about their health, recognize areas for growth, and take steps toward a healthier and more balanced life.
White’s unique perspective comes from her extensive healthcare background, where she has dedicated her career to improving patient care, healthcare quality, and community wellness.
She is a Registered Nurse, Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ), Certified Healthcare Quality Management (CHCQM), Sub-Specialty Certified in Patient Safety and Risk Management (CHCQM-PSRM), Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB), and Fellow of The American Board of Quality Assurance and Utilization Review Physicians (FABQAURP).
Beyond healthcare, White remains committed to serving her community through leadership roles with organizations including the American Heart Association for the New Orleans Region Board, Southern University of New Orleans School of Nursing Advisory Board, Dillard University School of Nursing Advisory Council Board, and Tulane Research Community Advisory Board.
Through her writing, wellness advocacy, and community work, Carlene K. White is reminding families that healing starts at home and that small, intentional choices can create lasting change.
Her message is simple yet powerful: prioritize your health, embrace your journey, and remember that becoming whole begins with taking care of yourself.
