This issue of Senior Times turns the focus on prevention. Prevention of elder abuse, scams, and spread of infec- tion and other health issues, including the coronavirus. The world may be working toward re-opening, but vig- ilance against the coronavirus is still crucial for our seniors. Look for a list of steps you can take to reduce your risk. Resources are listed throughout this issue from assistance with energy bills, food, and personal protective equipment as well as access to testing. If you are among the 84% of seniors with a Medicare plan that has not taken advantage of your annual wellness visit, this is one more way that you can take a preventative step. The well- ness visit benefit allows you to spend time with your health care provider to make a plan for your future health. Find more on page 27. If you need helping getting started call us at Senior Times. We are advocating for you.
