East Ridge Medicare Part D Workshop a Success

addie_eutice.jpg
This beautiful lady in purple is Addie Eustice, a very active senior who lives at East Ridge Retirement Center, an independent living community in District 8. She attended yesterday's workshop on Medicare Part D that was hosted by the center in East Ridge. She was not only excited about getting answers at the workshop; she was also relieved to know that I am trying to address the problem of a lack of public transportation in East Ridge. Her disabled son who lives in East Ridge relies on her now for motoring around, an acceptable burden for her, but one she would like to relieve. Our next public transportation meeting will be held at the East Ridge Retirement Center on Dec. 8 at 10 a.m.

A big thanks to Betty Smith, director of the East Ridge Retirement Center, for hosting this workshop. Melissa Nanney from Omnicare delivered an effective presentation on Medicare Part D for the public and residents. She answered questions and took much time after the workshop, talking with some of the 25 attendants one-on-one.

A healthcare consultant, Chris Daly (who also attended) provided the workshop with his plans for a computerized template to ease the choice for one of the 35+ plans in Tennessee in Medicare Part D.
