"SHIP" Guru Dagny Hoff Retires; New SHIP Coordinator Hired

Senior Health Insurance and Assistance Program Coordinator Dagny Hoff is retiring from CVCOA after 15 years. As SHIP coordinator, Dagny assisted thousands of Central Vermonters with their health insurance issues and facilitated Medicare Information Workshops.

Dagny has always been a fierce advocate for aging Vermonters and will be sorely missed. While replacing Dagny was challenging, veteran Chris Shaw is now leading Medicare Workshops and a new "SHIP" Coordinator has been hired. Thank you, Dagny!
