Attention all HCBS Home Care Providers Virtual Weekly Meeting
13 agencies on Western Slope have joined together to request the state reconsideration of the recent reduction in home care reimbursement rate.

We believe there is power in numbers and therefore if this issue has impacted your agency, please join our weekly meetings each Tuesday at 9:00 AM. Below is the link to join so we can fight together. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions I’m happy to provide further details.

Free Beginner Zoom Tai chi Classes
Introduction to T'ai Chi (& Qi Gong): Getting Started Right Free Zoom Classes With several more months of restricted activities due to the pandemic, Joe Brady and Jacqui Shumway of The Tai Chi Project have decided to offer free Tai Chi Classes for Beginners via Zoom on Fridays at 10:00am Mountain Standard Time. Description: Experience for yourself the accumulated wisdom of centuries with the timeless exercise of T’ai Chi - many of the best of Qi Gong exercises artfully strung together. Improve your health and balance, feel more energy, and so you can sleep better. Learn to use your T’ai Chi to alleviate chronic stress, and everyday aches and pains. Step out of the ordinary and take the first steps on the road to a healthy longevity. The flowing meditative exercise of T’ai Chi can be a powerful complement to medical intervention, and in many instances, may allow a physician to significantly reduce a patient's drug dosage or eliminate the need for medication altogether. Get the benefits of exercise you need without the wear and tear of other forms of exercise. “T’ai Chi is often described as "meditation in motion," but it might well be called "medication in motion." There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice, which originated in China as a martial art, has value in treating or preventing many health problems.” Harvard Medical School

Modern Japan on Zoom presented by Carol McCavitt
This semester we’ll transition from examining China’s relationship with her Asian neighbors to studying Japan’s miraculous recovery after World War II. Today, Japan is our closest ally in Asia. According to the US State Department, the American-Japanese relationship is regarded as “the cornerstone of US security interests in Asia and fundamental to regional stability and prosperity.” How did this happen? This semester we’ll find out. Learn more and enroll!

April 15 – Session 3: Medicare Part D This course explains the newest benefit of Medicare, Part D, for prescription drug coverage. Details how Part D works, how to get it, what the costs are for Part D, eligibility and how to apply for financial assistance with Part D costs for those with low incomes. Will also discuss other cost saving options available to consumers enrolled in Part D. April 22 – Session 4: Medicare, Medicaid, and Other Health Insurance Options – What you need to know Explains the CO Medicaid programs people with Medicare may be eligible for and how those Medicaid programs coordinate with Medicare.

Free Beginner Zoom Tai chi Classes
Introduction to T'ai Chi (& Qi Gong): Getting Started Right Free Zoom Classes With several more months of restricted activities due to the pandemic, Joe Brady and Jacqui Shumway of The Tai Chi Project have decided to offer free Tai Chi Classes for Beginners via Zoom on Fridays at 10:00am Mountain Standard Time. Description: Experience for yourself the accumulated wisdom of centuries with the timeless exercise of T’ai Chi - many of the best of Qi Gong exercises artfully strung together. Improve your health and balance, feel more energy, and so you can sleep better. Learn to use your T’ai Chi to alleviate chronic stress, and everyday aches and pains. Step out of the ordinary and take the first steps on the road to a healthy longevity. The flowing meditative exercise of T’ai Chi can be a powerful complement to medical intervention, and in many instances, may allow a physician to significantly reduce a patient's drug dosage or eliminate the need for medication altogether. Get the benefits of exercise you need without the wear and tear of other forms of exercise. “T’ai Chi is often described as "meditation in motion," but it might well be called "medication in motion." There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice, which originated in China as a martial art, has value in treating or preventing many health problems.” Harvard Medical School
