Presented by: Mallory Freitag, Lead Benefits Counselor, Houston-Galveston Area Council

Topic: “Medicare 101”

Overview: Join us for a presentation that reviews the basics of Medicare.  Attendees will learn about the different coverage options available through Medicare and important deadlines to sign-up.  This presentation will also go over programs available to assist individuals with Medicare costs, and will review ways Medicare beneficiaries can avoid common pitfalls to make sure they have quality access to healthcare.   

Please encourage caregivers, family members and patients to attend! 

"Time-Out “is a weekly educational/support session for caregivers and family members of UTMB patients, to support them in their adjustment and maintenance of their caregiving role.  These sessions will not be tied to a specific diagnosis- all caregivers and family members are welcome.  The hope is that these sessions will provide a chance for them to have “time out” to relieve some stress, have a little fun, build on care giving skills, decrease burnout and affirm that they are not alone in the role of caregiving.

These sessions are facilitated by UTMB students and staff and will occur every Wednesday at 2pm in Jennie Sealy 2.506A.  Sessions will last around 30 minutes and will address topics that falls into the following categories: Relaxation, Self-Care, Discharge Planning and Medical Topics.  

If you have questions or are interested in facilitating a session, please contact Savannah Parks at sjparks@utmb.edu or 409-266-7542.
