WE NEED MEDICARE COUNSELORS
Do you enjoy helping others? The SHIP program (Senior Health Insurance Program) and SMP (Medicare Fraud Program) available through the Silver Foxes Den Senior Center, is looking for additional talented volunteers to join the Medicare Navigators Team. These programs educate, counsel and assist Colorado’s Medicare beneficiaries. We need people who have a desire to help others in the community, who have computer skills and are Internet-savvy.
The Colorado Senior Health Insurance Assistance Program is part of a national network of programs that offer free, confidential counseling and assistance for people with Medicare. Congress established SHIP’s in 1990 to help beneficiaries navigate an increasingly complex health care system. It’s also home to the SMP Medicare Fraud Program.
Each year, the Colorado SHIP/SMP provides invaluable services to people with Medicare, including: Counseling beneficiaries through the annual prescription drug plan enrollment period, connecting with beneficiaries who have limited incomes to help them save money on health care costs, and educating the community about health insurance issues.
A 3-day training is provided and is coming up soon, August 10- 12. Please contact Musetta Wollenweber at 264-2167 for further details about this great opportunity. Insurance agents, insurance brokers, and financial planners are not eligible to serve as Medicare Navigator team members.
PICNIC IN THE PARK
Friday, July 30, we are hosting another Picnic in the Park in Town Park by the Gazebo instead of lunch in our dining room. Jack Collinsworth will be singing at 11:00 am, and there will be a square dancing performance during lunch! Reservations are required so call Rob now at 264-2167.
