Susan Scanland answered questions about my husband's Alzheimer's medications that my husband's specialist never did. I was very anxious about giving these medications...she knows exactly how Namenda, Exelon, Aricept and Razadyne work. I knew nothing about these medicines before her seminar, I would drive halfway across Pennsylvania just to hear Susan Scanland speak...SUSAN WAS TRULY THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS!

I live in a small, rural town in PA. no experts around here. Susan educated my friends and I thoroughly about Alzheimer's disease, which is what my dear female friend is afflicted with. I wasn't even aware there were treatments to slow down the progression of the illness. Thank you, Susan for giving us direction with this challenge in our lives.

Susan Scanland was an outstanding source of knowledge and support as my mother went from early symptoms through the diagnosis of fronto-temporal dementia. My wife's father has both vascular and Lewy body dementia, so we've been hammered on both sides.

Susan Scanland presented "True Wealth with Memory Health" in our bank's retirement lecture series. Her presentation focused on the many factors that can affect memory such as medical conditions, diet, exercise, weight and lifestyle. Susan is absolutely superb in conveying the overall message, in her presentation skills and, in knowledge of subject. She is congenial, professional and top-notch! Our bank's CEO and management team were extremely pleased with her seminar presentation. Susan will amaze you with her consideration, responsiveness, expertise and professionalism. Your seminar will receive rave reviews from customers and they, in turn, will appreciate what your bank has given them. It is a win-win situation!
