Thank you, Dolly, for helping shine a light on the importance of caring for caregivers, too. You will be missed. 💜

We join millions around the world in remembering Dolly Parton, whose kindness, generosity, and compassion touched countless lives. 💜

As we honor her legacy, this article highlights an important message she championed through both words and actions: caregivers need care, too. Taking time to care for yourself isn't selfish, it's essential.

Keeping the same Medicare plan doesn’t always mean keeping the same coverage. Your plan may have worked well for you this year, but costs, coverage, prescriptions, and provider networks can change from one year to the next. Medicare Open Enrollment, October 15-December 7, is your opportunity to review those changes and make sure your coverage still fits your needs.

MiGen’s MI Options Medicare Counselors offer free, one-on-one support to help you understand your current coverage, compare your options, and decide whether a change makes sense for you. Schedule an appointment: (313) 241-8994 or [email protected]
