Columbia County residents are cordially invited to attend the first installment of Canaan UCC’s “Resource Roundtable Series,” a series of presentations that have been planned by staff at NY Connects – Columbia County, a program of The Healthcare Consortium.

This first workshop will be presented by Rachel Cole, Consumer Assistance Programs Coordinator at the Healthcare Consortium who will discuss resources available to seniors; provide applications for Medicaid, the Medicare Savings Plan, and Elderly Pharmaceutical and Insurance Coverage (EPIC); and share recent news articles on topics such as saving on prescription medication costs and developments in funding for additional senior housing.

Additionally, Cole will offer guidance on navigating Medicare and other health insurance programs.
