Susan B. Sloane, B.S., Rph.,C.D.E., Nutritionist, CPT
Susan Sloane has been a registered pharmacist for over
20 years, and a Certified Diabetes Educator for 15 years. She
is known throughout her hometown in Upstate NY for her endless
volunteer efforts to help support the ADA and also JDRF. Susan
became an advocate when her oldest son, Jason, was diagnosed
with diabetes when he was just 17 months old. Ten years later,
her youngest son, Marc was diagnosed with diabetes as well.
Since that time until the present she has spent countless hours
organizing fund raisers, meeting with legislators, and working
with companies such as The Nutrasweet Company in Chicago to
improve the lives of those affected by diabetes. Susan is a
motivational speaker, and has been speaking across the country,
educating health care professionals and patients about treating
and living with this disease; which is now considered a national
“epidemic”. She is a certified insulin pump trainer
for many companies, and is a member of many prestigious organizations
such as AADE, ADA, Pharmacists Consortium for Diabetes Care,
and the Dietary Supplement Education Alliance. Susan has worked
in various media venues, such as radio and television, and has
written articles and regular segments for many publications,
locally and nationally. As a certified diabetes educator, Susan
will continue her efforts to help patients with diabetes live
a full and healthy life. Her goal as an educator is to show
patients that diabetes is a manageable disease, once you have
the “proper tools” and knowledge.

volunteer and excellent facilitator, and we are fortunate to
have her on our staff.
 Joanne
Landy, Esq
Joanne Landy is a fitness educator who understands
the significance of incorporating regular exercise into a
daily routine both on a personal and professional level. Her
passion for fitness began in college when she started running
and teaching aerobics. For over twenty years she has participated
in many fitness trends including, but not limited to: step
aerobic, slide, weight training, balance and core training,
yoga, pilates, and spinning. Over the last two years she has
attained her certification as a Schwinn indoor cycling coach
and a Stott-trained pilates instructor.
In addition to her qualifications as a fitness instructor, Joanne
holds a law degree from Suffolk Law School and a masters of
tax law degree from Boston University, both located in Boston,
Massachusetts. Although currently residing in N.Y. State, Joanne
maintains an active membership with the Massachusetts State
Bar Association. The intrinsic value that exercise plays in
achieving a healthy lifestyle was demonstrated to Ms. Landy
at an early age by the untimely death of her father from the
complications of diabetes. Proper exercise and nutrition, along
with medical supervision could have prevented this event, as
it can in improving the quality of life for patients with diabetes.
Joanne’s high-energy style makes her a powerful motivator
in her fitness program!
