Dear Neighbor,

Shana Tovah to all who are celebrating!

In October, I will be hosting two virtual events on Medicare issues. The first, on October 7th, will be a Virtual Town Hall on upcoming changes to Medicare. The second event, on October 14th, will be Session II of this year's Older Adult Roundtable Series, which will deal with federal cuts to Medicare and Medicaid.

See below for more information and RSVP details for both events.
