LONG VALLEY, NJ — For those who are new to Medicare or want to learn more about it, the Washington Township Recreation Department is hosting a free Medicare workshop.

Trained benefit specialists will be on hand to answer your questions and discuss the decisions you'll need to make, such as the fundamentals of Medicare coverage, private health and drug coverage options, and public benefits that can help with health care costs.

The program will take place on July 20, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. at the Washington Twp. Senior Center, 35 East Springtown Road, Long Valley.
