ALYSSA 

EDWARDS

Senior Healthcare Operator & Business Owner

Hi, I’m Alyssa—a connector, founder, and operations leader passionate about building mission-aligned systems that work. I’ve led national healthcare and education organizations through transformation, scaled new service lines from the ground up, and recovered millions in revenue by aligning strategy with relationship-centered leadership. Today, I bring that same energy to In The Room, On Purppose, a podcast and platform amplifying women’s leadership stories and reshaping the way we think about growth, culture, and impact.

Welcome to my corner of the world—where purpose drives strategy, growth sparks change, and conversations inspire new perspectives.

  • Alyssa Served on the Ivy Rehab for Kids Executive team. I was struck by her intellect, drive, and resilience. Her drive for results was infectious and the business unit she oversaw performed the best under her.

  • It was clear early on that Alyssa was a master at growing our service line in a very short period of time. She hires talented people and inspires them to do their best. This is evidence by the huge following Alyssa has of people that want to work for her. She is extremely well oriented to business practices and knows her way around an organization at the top level.

She focuses on the development of her leaders and team to assure they reach a new level of success.
