“I have my own insurance.”

Yes, this may affect you. Or your friends. Or your family members. Don't fall in love with your plan. Learn how to determine if 2026 current coverage will continue to work for you or those you care for or care about.
 
The Chicagoland Villages Collaborative recognizes the importance of providing updated information to help you with your 2026 Medicare decisions. Medicare’s "open enrollment" period runs every year from October 15th until December 7th. This is the time Medicare Beneficiaries look at their plans, ensure it meets their needs, and make changes. Most years there are changes that occur in most plans. 
 
Join us to learn about changes coming to Medicare in 2026. We will give you tools to help you make the best choices for the year ahead. Bring your questions.
