Medicare Open Enrollment
A quick reminder: Medicare Open Enrollment for the coming year runs from October 15th to December 7th. During this period, you can switch from original Medicare to Medicare Advantage, or vice versa. You can also switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another, or from one Medicare Part D (prescription drug) plan to another, or you can drop your Medicare Part D coverage altogether.

Ceca Award Winner
Francis Lawson, Revel Security Officer
Last month we celebrated the Ceca Award winner for July 2016: Congratulations to Francis Lawson! Here are some kind words about Francis:
"Francis' job duties include a wide array of responsibilities. Even at the busiest of times Francis makes time and puts residents' needs first. During one afternoon shift change - the hustle and bustle of family members arriving for visits, a physician arrival and a new admission - Francis was sought out by a resident for help. He took the time to establish the resident's need, determined the appropriate department to assist the resident and ensured the resident's need was met. The resident told him 'thanks a lot, I knew I could count on you for helping an old guy out.' Francis demonstrates acts of kindness daily and has truly proven to touch many residents' and staff hearts."
