Changes in insurance and federal funding are transforming health care nationwide, leaving seniors affected. With limited access and uncertain options, older adults wonder where to turn and what is available. Leaders from Charlevoix and Emmet Counties will address important issues affecting our aging population. Learn how local hospitals, rehabilitation centers, doctors, and senior care facilities are adapting and enhancing their services to better support older adults. The event is free and open to the public.
Lunch: A complimentary lunch will be provided by Executive Chef Andrew Colvin.
To RSVP, call 231-310-3206 by Wednesday, August 6, 2025.
