"In the United States today, 13%, or approximately 35 million of our population,
is aged 65 and older. In
just seven years, the "baby boomers" will begin turning 65.
Ten thousand "boomers" per day will reach
this milestone over the next 20 years. By 2030,
the number of people aged 65 and older will have
doubled, swelling to 71 million. One in
five Americans will be 65 and older. The fastest-growing segment,
and the segment of the
population that will place the greatest demand on the healthcare system, those
ages 85
and older, will rise in number from 4 million to 20 million by mid-century. The number
of
centenarians in the U.S. population will soar to more than 800,000 by 2050."
-- The American Geriatrics Society, February, 2005

You want to move product. Caregivers want to ensure they are buying the right product
and using it properly. Both you and your customers can benefit from an educational presentation
by Susan Scanland, owner of GeriScan.
With nearly 25 years of experience specific to geriatrics, Susan knows what your customers
want - and what their patients need. The fact that approximately 10% of elders receive optimal
treatment of depression and Alzheimer's leaves a huge untapped market share. Susan has the
unique ability to relate to all levels of nursing care, having worked in geriatric settings
as a CNA, staff nurse, and nurse practitioner, along with formally educating physicians for
12 years and nurse practitioners for four years. Susan takes the latest evidence-based
geriatric research and targets that information in ways to which every participant can relate.
