The Cancer Support Community at Monmouth Medical Center Presents Medicare & You

Choosing the right Medicare plan can be confusing and difficult—especially for those affected by cancer. The Cancer Support Community at Monmouth Medical Center presents Medicare & You, a workshop designed to help people navigate Medicare, on Wednesday, June 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

She will discuss the various Medicare and drug coverage plans, and answer attendees’ questions. A light lunch will be served.

This workshop will be held at the Cancer Support Community at Monmouth Medical Center, located at 300 Second Avenue, Suite ST-007 in Long Branch. Registration is required by calling the Cancer Support Community at 732-923-6090.
