"Approximately 600 people attended the Southeastern Hospital Conference and were privileged to hear Dr. Sandra Haymon. The fact that the room did not hold all of the people was an indicator of how desperate people are for advice, to hear they are not alone, and that there are ways to cope. She addressed the needs of many whose hearts are heavy with the cares and concerns she experienced with caregiving. We were most appreciative - recognizing the issues she covered touches nearly everyone's lives."
Martha C. Taylor, Dir. Of Volunteer Services, Newton General Hospital, Covington, GA
"Thank you for participating in our 39th Annual Conference in Savannah. It was a tremendous success! Wow!! What a great impression you made with our 520 attendees. Never in the history of 39 years have we received such high evaluations for a speaker."
