• Is planning for retirement

• Or is helping a loved one make healthcare decisions

Participants will learn about:

• ✅ Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans

• 💊 Prescription drug plans (Part D)

• 🩺 Medigap supplemental plans

• 💵 Cost-saving programs like EPIC and Extra Help

Workshops will take place from September 28 through November 9 at libraries across Westchester, including White Plains, Yonkers, Katonah, and more. Pre-registration is encouraged by calling (914) 231-3236.
