Tidy Tides, Making Waves, Not Waste was our theme this year! 🌊♻️

What a beautiful, breezy, and a little chilly morning for our youths in action! BPSOS Gulf Coast is proud of our amazing youth volunteers from St.Martin High School who came together for the annual MS Coastal Clean Up to help keep our beaches clean and protect our coastal environment. Through teamwork, community service, and environmental stewardship, our young students are making a difference, one piece of trash at a time!

Thank you to everyone who joined us in creating a cleaner, healthier Gulf Coast for future generations!

🩺💚 MISSISSIPPI, MEDICARE OPEN ENROLLMENT 2027 IS HERE!
Your Health. Your Coverage. Your Future.
📅 October 15 – December 7, 2026
At Healthy Together Mississippi, we believe that every Mississippian deserves access to affordable, quality healthcare—whether living in the Mississippi Delta, a rural community, or one of our growing cities.

Medicare plans and healthcare needs can change from year to year. Now is the time for older adults, people with disabilities who qualify for Medicare, and caregivers to review their coverage for 2027!

🔍 Five Things to Check:
✅ Your Doctors: Are your physicians, specialists, and hospitals still in your plan's network?
✅ Your Medications: Will your prescriptions be covered, and how much will they cost?
✅ Your Costs: Compare premiums, deductibles, copayments, and other out-of-pocket expenses.
✅ Your Benefits: Review dental, vision, hearing, and other available benefits.
✅ Your Savings: Find out whether you qualify for Extra Help or Medicare Savings Programs.

🏡 Why Does This Matter in Mississippi?
For families managing diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and other chronic conditions, the right coverage can make a meaningful difference. This is especially important in rural communities where access to healthcare providers and pharmacies may be limited.

🤝 YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT ALONE!
Free, unbiased Medicare counseling is available through Mississippi's State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).
📞 1-844-822-4622
🌐 Compare plans at www.Medicare.gov
⏰ Don't wait! Changes made during Open Enrollment generally take effect January 1, 2027.

💚 HEALTHY TOGETHER MISSISSIPPI
Empowering Families. Strengthening Communities.
