Medicare Part D Day Shenandoah University faculty, staff and students take every opportunity they can to serve the community in a number of ways. In practice, Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy professors have continually observed that many older patients find the process of signing up for Medicare Part D confusing. As a result, the pharmacy school’s Annual Medicare Part D Signup Assistance Day, which launched several years ago, was created. This year, an interdisciplinary health fair will also be going on. Patients can learn about a variety of health issues from students in the School of Pharmacy as well as the School of Health Professions. Only one event is being held this year in Winchester. This takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 14, at the university’s Health Professions Building. During the event, volunteers help senior citizens enroll in a Medicare Part D plan that best suits their needs. In addition, students and pharmacists are available to answer questions about deductibles, premiums, coverage gaps and much more. Those who plan to attend should bring their Medicare cards and a current medication list, so volunteers can better assist participants in choosing an appropriate individualized Part D Plan. Questions regarding this year’s event should be directed to Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice Sarah Parnapy Jawaid, Pharm.D., at sparnapy@su.edu.
