Request a Speaker or Presentation
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.
While our legal and ombudsman staff are based in Cincinnati and present locally, Ohio Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) welcomes your invitation to present in any Ohio community about recognizing and avoiding Medicare fraud and medical identity theft and an overview of Pro Seniors’ statewide legal helpline.
The fact sheets developed by Pro Seniors’ attorneys respond to the frequently asked questions on topics that concern seniors, such as Medicare, Medicaid, living wills, Social Security and pensions. 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.
