Medicare Moments Call for Volunteers...We Need You! Every January seems to bring fresh possibilities, personal resolutions, and promises to ourselves to do something new and different. . .perhaps that could include volunteering for a worthwhile cause! Here’s a possibility to consider! If you have a yearning to help others, enjoy working with seniors, and like to explore information and solve problems, The SHINE Program may be just what you’re looking for.
SHINE stands for SERVING HEALTH INSURANCE NEEDS OF ELDERS and is looking for special people like you to serve as volunteer Medicare Counselors. SHINE is a volunteer-based program that provides free and unbiased Medicare counseling to area seniors. There are no sales involved. Why SHINE? Medicare is complicated, and for that reason, many of our seniors need the helping hand of a SHINE Counselor to make sense of all the information Medicare makes available to them. This helps ensure that seniors obtain the best possible health insurance coverage for their individual health needs. For nearly 35 years, SHINE Counselors have demonstrated that their services are not just valuable, but also necessary. What if I’m curious or interested? All you have to do is reach out to our SHINE Liaison, Chris Polzer, who’ll be happy to answer your questions, explain the training and mentoring process, and any other who, what, where, why and how.
Chris is available Monday through Friday at chrisp@aaanf.org or 850-739-5939. You can also visit the SHINE website at www.floridashine.org.
