SE*ED: "Update on Medicare Wellness Exams"

Medicare is the social insurance program funded by the U.S. government for citizens over 65 years of age. In these provisions, you are entitled to yearly Medicare Wellness Checks. These checks can be very important in preemptive diagnoses, and being aware of your health.
            On June 22, Roy Doorenbos, MD, Gayle Johnson, RN, and Brenda Peck, all with Grinnell Regional Family Care, are the featured speakers at Grinnell Regional Medical Center’s Senior Education Program. They will present information about service that you may be eligible for; how little it may cost; why it is important to be proactive in your healthcare; and why you should take advantage of this service.
            This program is free and open to the public. It will be held in the Drake Community Library with refreshments beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Parking is available at the Drake Community Library, along Park Street, on Fifth Avenue, and in the First Presbyterian Church parking lot.
