What happens when local healthcare providers, pharmacists, social workers, Medicare counselors, and community organizations come together? Better support for older adults.

At the June meeting of the Durham Medicare Rx Network, participants discussed several important issues affecting Medicare beneficiaries, including Wellcare Value Script disenrollments, changes affecting certain Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries that could mean the loss of coverage, and new programs designed to expand access to GLP-1 medications for weight loss.

Learn how these developments may impact older adults in our community and the organizations that serve them.

Do you enjoy meeting people and making connections in the community? Senior PharmAssist is looking for Outreach Volunteers to help spread the word about our programs and services throughout Durham.

 Outreach Volunteers represent Senior PharmAssist at health fairs, community events, and outreach sites, helping older adults learn about resources that can improve their health and well-being. Volunteers assist with setting up and staffing informational tables, distributing materials, and engaging with community members.

No specialized healthcare knowledge is required. We're looking for friendly, dependable individuals who are comfortable transporting and setting up a fold-up table, chairs, and outreach materials at events. Volunteers must have reliable transportation to outreach locations throughout the Durham area.

 If you're passionate about helping older adults and serving your community, we'd love to hear from you. Contact Olga Melancon, Development and Communications Director at omelancon@seniorpharmassist.org; 919-956-5812 to learn more about joining our outreach team!
