Dear Friends,



I am taking this opportunity to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving. While the holidays are lovely, they can also be stressful. When facing the holiday’s, I often think of these 3 things when life becomes complicated:

• Accept imperfection
• Don’t lose sight of what really matters
• Respond with kindness

We all have choices in making our lives better, I hope these thoughts help you this season.

In other news, Hunterdon County is changing its online/electronic operating platform and our monthly update emails may arrive in a different format in December or January. The email will be coming from CivicSend and not Constant Contact. The news and updates will be the same- from the Division of Senior, Disabilities and Veterans’ Services- Keeping You Informed.

Be well,

Laine Nauman

Director

Hunterdon County Division of Senior, Disabilities and Veterans' Services

October 17^th – December 7^th

Each year plans change what they cost and what they cover. Those who don’t have prescription drug coverage can also enroll in a drug plan during open enrollment.  See flyer here.

Review the 2022 costs or your current drug and health plan.

Look at premium co-pays and deductibles.

Compare the cost and coverage to other plans in your area. Check to see if the plan covers your medicines, works with your pharmacy and covers the services you need.

Choose a plan that meets your needs.

Review your plan and act early to avoid any inconvenience at the pharmacy counter in January.
