Until we have universal healthcare in place, navigating our current system will remain difficult–especially for seniors. In response, Ashby Village Healthy Aging and Elder Action will present a 5-part series on healthcare this Fall.
Hear from experts in geriatric healthcare and Medicare, learn how to use tele-health and patient portals, and get tools, resources and help assembling essential health and estate planning documents. The first four meetings are via Zoom, the last one is a hands-on workshop.
For all events, RSVP by emailing info@ashbyvillage.org or calling 510-204-9200.
