Letter from the Director
Helping people access the benefits they need and want is an important service provided by the Gibson Center. It certainly was not an original service when we opened in 1979 but is an example of Gibson responding to a need in the community and doing what we can to help. Like so many things, health insurance is much more complex than it once was. To have someone assisting you to sign up for the first time or switching plans can make the process much easier and help you avoid mistakes.
Open enrollment for Medicare runs through December 7th unless you are switching from an Advantage plan that is being discontinued, in which case you have until the end of the year to find a new plan. This is an extremely busy time of year for our volunteer Medicare enrollment specialist and former Board member, Ele Border. The service offered by Ele is unbiased and she is only affiliated with the Gibson Center. Ele can help find the right plan for you.
Winter is coming and now is the time to sign up for fuel assistance. Angel Bean from Tri County Cap will be here November 6th from 10-2 to help those who qualify receive the fuel assistance they need to stay Safe, Warm, and Dry through the winter. Senior Resource Navigator Renee Wheaton will be here on November 13th to help with fuel assistance as well. Renee is training to become a Community Health Worker (CHW) and assisting with benefit enrollment is an additional service we can offer through her that is consistent with her new CHW designation.
