K-State Research and Extension is offering a Medicare Basics: New to Medicare workshop on October 10.

Learn the basics of Medicare, including eligibility, how and when to apply, what is covered by the various parts, and how to fill the gaps. Programs available to assist low income individuals will also be discussed. Anyone interested in learning more about the Medicare maze would benefit from the program, particularly those who are nearing age 65 or who help aging parents with insurance and financial matters.

This free, educational program will be held from 6:30 – 8 p.m. October 10 in the Prescott Meeting Room of the Salina Public Library, 301 W. Elm. The program will be presented by extension educator Deb Wood, who is a SHICK counselor.

Space is limited. Register for this workshop by calling 785-309-5850.
