If you are turning 65 or going on Medicare, here is an opportunity for you to get the information you need.

At 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, we will host a Medicare ABCD’s class. This class will cover the parts of Medicare, hospital, medical and drug options; including original/traditional Medicare, Medicare supplements, Medicare advantage plans, Part D prescription drug coverage and preventive benefits.

Also included is information about Medicare savings programs, drug assistance, preventing fraud, waste and abuse, and other resources to help you make informed decisions.

The instructor is a certified State Health Insurance Program Counselor with the Senior LinkAge Line. Please sign up for this program by stopping by the Senior Center front desk or calling 507-433-2370. See you there.

We look forward to seeing you at our many programs at the Mower County Senior Center. Don’t forget our coffee shop where every day you can have homemade soup for $1 and sandwich for 50 cents. On Tuesday we will be serving enchilada hotdish for only $2. You are always welcome at the center.
