In addition to sharing these in an email following a call to our Legal Helpline, we distribute this information at health fairs, at community events, at the Governor’s Conference and to senators and representatives for them to give to their constituents.

Pro Seniors’ staff and volunteers present to senior support groups, senior centers, church-sponsored senior groups, retired public employees, and your group could be next. We can present on various topics such as avoiding fraud and scams, creating a living will, health care power of attorney, avoiding probate, recognizing Medicare scams, and more.
