National Senior Citizen Day was created in 1988 by President Ronald Reagan as a day to support, honor and show appreciation to all seniors and to recognize their life achievements.
In August the Senior Citizen Council also helped celebrate at the Cobb County International Festival at Jim Miller Park. There was a very large crowd and lots of wonderful food and entertainment.
Upcoming Events:
Be a Medicare Fraud Fighter

Do you get calls from Medicare representatives? Well, you shouldn't. 
Do you know who to call when you suspect something isn't right? 
Did you know you could get advice on a billing discrepancy before actually contacting Medicare to dispute it?  
Please come to our Medicare Fraud Seminar.
By now, I'm sure you've heard of Medicare Fraud. Scammers, some are medical professionals, are using your healthcare to increase the amount of money they are getting paid from Medicare and from you. You may have already been a victim but are unaware. It all looks very official.  

There are new scams out there all the time.

At this FREE seminar learn how to spot:
  • Services on your medical bill that you never received.
  • A diagnosis on your record that you are unfamiliar with. 
  • Unusually high cost- prescriptions or unnecessary tests and services.
  • A request for cash payment that you thought was covered by Medicare.
  • And more!

At this FREE seminar you will learn what you can do to combat false charges on your Medicare account and protect your finances. Limited seating so please register at the link below.

This event is sponsored by the Powder Springs Senior Center and the Senior Citizen Council of Cobb, Co-sponsored by the Senior Medicare Patrol.
LOCATION: George E. Ford Center,
4181 Atlanta Street, Powder Springs GA 30127,
Thursday, September 28, 2023 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
