Living Longer is Only Half the Answer
The other half is learning the TOOLS TO TAKE control of your memory health, financial well-being and your estate planning.
Since January 2011, 19,000 baby boomers are turning 65 every day for the next 19 years. 85 year old plus continues to be the fastest growing segment in our population. With this aging demographic comes an increasing demand for medical care and a greater need for preventive services.
Health care reform will change how medical care and preventive services will be reimbursed. This will have an impact on financial planning and estate planning.
Plymouth Harbor on Sarasota Bay will be hosting a panel discussion open to the public to educate everyone on the necessary tools.
The event being held on February 23, 2012 will feature:
Nicci Kobritz, President of Scienza: Memory for Life
Anthony Bartirome, Estate Planning Attorney, Blalock Walters, P.A.
Nicholas Drizos, President and Portfolio Manager, Horizon Wealth Advisors
Registration will begin at 9:30 am and the presentation will start promptly at 10:00 am.
Seating is on a first come, first served basis.
