Medicare is a critical source of health insurance for 44 million Americans. You need in-depth information on the often confusing process of the Medicare system to make informed choices with your own, or a loved one's, health insurance. For most of us - whether we're on Medicare or not - decisions about health insurance are often difficult because they affect the kind of care we get and our financial security. Be informed so you can make the best decisions. Space is limited. Registration is required for this free class.

Redmond Senior Center Strengthens Community amid COVID-19 with Virtual Connection Services
Today, amid COVID-19 connections with family, friends, and neighbors is as important as ever. The Redmond Senior Center is stepping up by launching Virtual Connections, a service aimed to create a new way for seniors to connect while quarantined. In addition to addressing feelings of isolation, Virtual Connections provides opportunities to gather information and ideas about the community and make sure the most vulnerable seniors have their basic needs – food, medical care, safe housing, and social connection.
While at the present time the Center facility itself is closed, except for essential meal services, Virtual Connections is a way for seniors to not only receive the benefits of connection but also give back to the community with their ideas for broader connection and services. The Redmond Senior Center facility will reopen when it is safe for people to be together in the community and not only continue its operating services but also expand its array of services once assessed.
To learn more about how you or a loved one could become involved with the Redmond Senior Center’s Virtual Connections services, contact us at:
541-548-6325 or info@redmondseniors.org
Send your Virtual Connections testimonials to: directorredmondseniors@gmail.com

She even decided to go get her own iPad after I mentioned how much I've enjoyed using mine to stay connected!" - Shared from a Redmond Senior Center member to member Virtual Connections call
