Yesterday, Elan Skilled Nursing and Rehab’s Missy Bednar presented a donation to the Alzheimer's Association- Greater PA Chapter Walk Manager Dick Smith for the 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer’s - Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA. The event took place at PNC Field in Moosic, and had the largest attendance and raised the most money in the 22 years since the event began. Elan Skilled Nursing and Rehab participated in the event with a walk team and as a sponsor.

“Elan remains deeply committed to supporting the Alzheimer’s Association, and as we look ahead to 2026, we’re already excited to launch another amazing year with our Kickoff Dinner at Elan this March,” said Bednar, who also serves on the Executive Leadership Committee for the Alzheimer’s Association. “We look forward to continuing our partnership so we can support more people in our community who are affected by Alzheimer’s, and their families.”
