The session comes as Medicare open enrollment approaches, a critical time when seniors can make changes to their coverage, often under complex and shifting regulations. Officials say the event will help simplify the process and alert residents to aid they may not know exists.

Seating and transportation for the meeting are limited, and seniors are encouraged to sign up in advance through the Senior Center. Light refreshments will be provided during the session, which is expected to draw strong attendance from residents seeking to stay informed ahead of enrollment.
