A new extension of the Radcliff Lecture Series on Rural Health, coined Beats Breakfast Club, invites the public to a brief talk and panel discussion surrounding Medicare open enrollment. Titled “Get the Facts: Original Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage,” the free event is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 2 at the Physicians Pavilion Assembly Room at 1230 E. 6th Ave. in Winfield.

Hosted by William Newton Healthcare Foundation in conjunction with the Beats Go On community wellness initiative, the session will discuss challenges enrollees face when making health plan decisions, particularly those who live in rural areas. Guest presenter and community pharmacy owner Dared Price, Pharm.D., will explain the differences between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage and highlight important factors to consider when deciding which plan is the best fit.

A panel of local care providers, including physician Bryan Dennett, M.D. of Family Care Center, pharmacist and pharmacy owner Renee Price, Pharm.D. of Graves Drug, and dental practice owner Gail Sawyer, will share their experiences and help guests gain a better understanding of how various plans work in this area.

While this event is geared toward seniors making health plan decisions, all are welcome. A complimentary continental breakfast will be served and all guests will be entered into a random drawing for a Graves Drug gift basket. Seating is limited to 60 attendees. To reserve a seat, call the William Newton Healthcare Foundation at 620-222-6275 or email by October 27.
