Medicare Open Enrollment has brought an unprecedented demand for counseling services in our community. With changes to Medicare coverage options and the loss of some plans in our rural area, many people have questions about their coverage and next steps.

To help meet the need, we are offering::
- Individual Medicare counseling appointments by phone or in person
- Educational classes for people who are new to Medicare
- Special classes for individuals who are losing coverage and exploring new options

Register Early: Call 360-321-1600 to reserve a spot. Space is limited, and some classes are already full. Registration helps us ensure we have adequate seating for everyone.
