The Independent Physicians Alliance will be hosting a community event for Senior citizens called MEDICARE AWARE. KFSM, the City Wire, and the SW TIMES will be promoting this event, along with the Mayor of Fort Smith. This date of this event will be in February, but the date has not been set. We will host this at the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith and Humana will be presenting the Medicare presentation for the citizens.

This is NOT a sales opportunity for Humana as they are not legally allowed to promote their company or products, but they have volunteered to speak at this event so that seniors may better understand their Medicare benefits, the Medicare Advantage programs, and their Part D prescription benefits.

We are excited to be able to be of service to our senior citizens and feel that any help that we might be on helping them to make the correct choices and in understanding their benefits will be an asset to them as they try to maximize every penny on their limited income budget.
