Meet the Founder & Lead Instructor

Veronica Newman, LPN is the Founder and Lead Instructor of Persevere Allied Health Institute, bringing more than 20 years of hands-on clinical experience across acute care, long-term care, dialysis, mental health, and community-based healthcare settings.

Her healthcare journey began at the ground level—as a home healthcare aide—where she developed a deep respect for patient dignity, consistency of care, and operational reliability. From there, Veronica advanced through formal training to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), followed by progressive clinical roles that demanded precision, accountability, and resilience.

She has served as a Patient Care Technician at Detroit Receiving Hospital, a Level I trauma center, and later worked in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit at Cleveland Clinic, the nation’s leading heart center. Her clinical background also includes more than seven years as a Dialysis Technician, supporting life-sustaining treatments for patients with chronic kidney disease.

Driven by long-term professional growth and leadership development, Veronica completed nursing school and earned her Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) credential. Her post-licensure experience includes work in dialysis care, geriatric and dementia care, mental health wellness, and substance-abuse treatment, providing her with a comprehensive understanding of patient care workflows across multiple healthcare environments.

In 2016 Veronica founded "Veronica's Private Duty Care & CPR Training" which later pivoted to Persevere Allied Health Institute with a focused mission: to develop a workforce that is clinically competent, operationally reliable, and prepared to perform in real-world healthcare settings. The institute emphasizes professional standards, accountability, and practical skill execution, aligning training outcomes with the expectations of healthcare employers and clinical partners.

In addition to her leadership in education and workforce development, Veronica is a published author, with titles available on Amazon including 90-Day Anxiety & Mood Tracker Journal and Become the Million Dollar LPN Boss, reflecting her broader commitment to professional growth, wellness, and career sustainability within healthcare.

Today, Veronica continues to lead Persevere Allied Health Institute with a results-driven approach—combining clinical expertise, structured training, and operational discipline to support healthcare organizations and develop dependable allied health professionals.
