A Free Class to Understand Basic Medicare

Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance – SHIBA – is holding Medicare classes in several locations in Linn and Benton County. The classes cover the basics of Medicare.

Spouses and other relatives are welcome to attend the class as well.

SHIBA trained counselors:
