LOCAL MEDICARE 
PRESENTATIONS SCHEDULED

Are you a Medicare beneficiary? Want to find out more information about
how the Medicare Annual Coordinated Election Period can work for you?
Want to stay informed and healthy and save money? If so, then mark your
calendar for Medicare informational presentations and counseling events
that will be available this Fall in your county.

These free events are made possible by the Ohio Department of
Insurance's Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP),
which travels the state each fall to help Ohioans, family members and caregivers understand the different Medicare coverage options and available financial assistance. Medicare's Annual Coordinated Election Period starts October 15th and ends December 7th. During this time, Medicare beneficiaries can evaluate their current coverage and make the determination on whether they should switch to a plan that will better support their needs. Those on Medicare are strongly encouraged to attend a session, which will provide helpful information and assistance.

The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) can also help you throughout the year to answer any questions you might have concerning your Medicare coverage, specifically with help surrounding the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage Low Income Subsidy "Extra Help" Program and the Medicare Savings Program (assistance with Part B premium). If you would like to learn more about these programs and whether or not you are eligible to receive discounts on your prescription drugs, please call our office at 1-800-582-7277 and ask for extension 250.

Local Medicare presentations are scheduled for:


CHILLICOTHE PAINTS 
LEAD  PROSPECT LEAGUE  IN ATTENDANCE, 
Rank Among Top Franchises Nationally

 

During the just-completed season, the Chillicothe Paints, presented by Adena Health System, once again led the Prospect League in both overall attendance and average attendance per game.

This season, the Paints hosted an average of 1,959 fans per game, most in franchise history and second-most in Prospect League history. It also marked the fourth consecutive season that the Paints have seen a growth in attendance and the fourth consecutive season that the Paints have led the league in both total attendance and per-game average.

"We are grateful and humbled to once again lead the Prospect League in attendance," said Chillicothe Paints managing partner Bryan Wickline. "This 25th season was a special one for the Paints."

This season, Chillicothe also set a new franchise and Prospect League attendance record with a season-total attendance of 58,755 over 30 home games. It's the eighth time in the nine-year history of the Prospect League that the Paints have had the largest total attendance. The Paints have led the league in average attendance five times.

"We made numerous memories this season and, as always, we are proud to call southern Ohio the home of the Paints," Wickline added.

According to a list compiled by Ballpark Digest (www.ballparkdigest.com) of summer collegiate teams from across the country, the Paints ranked 10th in the nation in terms of total attendance. Chillicothe ranked 12th in terms of average attendance.

As always, visit www.ChillicothePaints.com for the latest news and information on the team and happenings at VA Memorial Stadium. Fans are also encouraged to connect with the Paints via social media on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The Paints expect to begin their 26th season during the last week of May 2018.
