One of a series of lectures presented on the campus of Northeast State Community College on Saturday, October 18, 2014 as part of Tennessee for a Lifetime. This lecture, "Medicare ABCs," was created and presented by First Tennessee Area Agency on Aging and Disability (FTAAAD) SHIP Coordinators Melody Conkin and Ryan Ramsey, along with Regina Udomratanavasi of Social Security. The presentation will help you learn about the different parts of Medicare, the different types of coverage, Medicare enrollment and deadlines, and programs to assist with premium payments and lower co-pays. Tennessee for a Lifetime is intended to help Tennesseans of all ages learn about growing older. Aging is something we all do, and to a lot of people it feels more complicated now than ever before. The goal of the Tennessee Commission on Aging and Disability (TCAD) is to provide free lessons on aging for all ages, to help people plan, get them to think, and assist them in taking action when it's in their best interest.

Presented by: Lisa Smartt, Motivational Storyteller and Adventurer Why doesn’t everyone think like me? Why do certain people bring my evil twin to life? What can I do to keep from committing a felony crime against an aggravating co-worker or family member? Take heart. You are not alone. Sometimes it helps to laugh about our interaction with others while journeying toward solutions. This humorous presentation offers practical and pivotal life skills which will turn our relationships with people in a more positive direction. (And keep us from committing a homicide.)
