My name is Elizabeth Luttrell. I am the ODHH Training and Presentation Program Manager.

I wanted to let you know that with October 15th coming soon, which means that enrollment is starting for Medicare and state health insurance.?That means everyone is starting to think about coverage needs, how to enroll, whether to make changes to their coverage to better fit their needs, how to get help and resources, etc.

We have partnered with SHIBA which means Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors, people who are very experienced with Medicare and state health insurance.?There will be 1 hour presentation with a 30-minute Q&A session after.

There are 2 virtual sessions: Thursday, September 21 from 6 PM-7:30 PM and Saturday, September 23, from 10 AM-11:30 AM.

Both sessions have Zoom links set up. Please go ahead and register in advance. We have set up interpreters and captions for both sessions.?If you need other communication accommodations, email me at [email protected] or if preferred, call me at 253-287-3852 to set up additional accommodations.
