Are you turning 65 in the next six months to a year? Or do you assist your parents with their medical options? Perhaps you are confused about your options and what to expect once your insurance changes.

If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, then the Medicare Basics Program is for you. This free class will help you gain the knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your health care coverage.

The Medicare Basics program will be presented Friday, September 13th, at the basement of the Ellis County Administrative Center, 718 Main. The program will be presented twice to accommodate those working around their lunch hour. The first presentation will run from 11:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. and the same information will be presented at 12:30 to 1:30.

Donna Krug, Cottonwood Extension District Agent and her husband, John, will be the presenters. They have been certified SHICK counselors the past five years. They received update earlier this summer and are happy to share those updates with the public.

The workshop is free and open to everyone, but pre-registration is helpful so that enough handout materials are available.

Interested participants may call (785) 628-9430 or email [email protected] with questions or to register.
