Upcoming Free SHIBA Medicare Classes
This class is designed for anyone who will be eligible for Medicare within a few months or is new to Medicare. Current beneficiaries who would like a better understanding of their benefits and options will also find this course valuable. Spouses and family members are encouraged to attend to gain knowledge about Medicare and the options available for their loved ones!
Due to the limited class size, advanced registration is required for all classes. Register today by calling 541-812-0849 or 541-574-2684.
