This Month on Su Valley Voice: Medicare Wellness with Sunshine CHC
In the latest episode of Su Valley Voice on KTNA, we welcomed Sunshine Community Health Center for their monthly update. Host Trisha Costello was joined by Lyla Micheli, a Nurse Practitioner at Sunshine Clinic, and Sean McPhilamy, a Volunteer Medicare Counselor with the State of Alaska’s Medicare Information Office.
Together, they explored the ins and outs of Medicare and the importance of Annual Wellness Visits—a benefit that many Medicare recipients may not realize is available to them at no cost. Lyla shared how Sunshine CHC incorporates these visits into holistic care, helping patients stay on top of preventive health services. Sean offered expert guidance on navigating Medicare benefits and how Alaskans can access local resources for help.
Whether you're new to Medicare, helping a loved one, or just want to make the most of your wellness benefits, this episode is full of useful information.
