Alzheimer's Speaks

We are thrilled to have Teepa Snow with us today on the show.  I consider Teepa one of my mentors in the industry.  She is exceptional at not only what she does, but how she shares information with both staff and the public.  Teepa uses real life situations and then gives simple senarios to change outcomes.  To use the word "Brilliant" to describe Teepa does not do her justice.

Check out her up coming courses at the Historic Academy of Medicine at Georgia Tech
