Georgia Legislative Black Caucus to Host National Senior Citizen Day Events in Savannah and Jonesboro

ATLANTA – The Georgia Legislative Black Caucus (GLBC), chaired by State Representative Carl Gilliard (D-Savannah), will host several National Senior Citizen Day events, in partnership with Choice Producers Network (CPN) and Devoted Health, on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, in Savannah and Jonesboro.

Informational sessions will be held at the following locations on Wednesday, August 21, 2024:

  • 12:30 p.m. at the Lakeview Event Center.
  • 2 p.m. at the Lakeview Event Center.

These free public events will be held in Chatham County (Savannah) and Clayton County (Atlanta) to honor the contributions of senior citizens to families and society. Named the “Seniors’ Day Summit,” the events aim to provide information about changes to Medicare prescription drug laws and healthcare services.

These informational sessions will also cover new prescription drug laws, enhanced benefits for low-income beneficiaries, expanded healthcare services, advice and resources. State Senator Gail Davenport (D-Jonesboro) will be a guest at the Jonesboro events, and Chatham County Commissioner Tanya Milton will be a guest at the Savannah events. The events will also feature three 90-minute informative sessions at each location. Due to limited seating, attendees are encouraged to register here by August 18, 2024.

“Every senior citizen must be informed about these critical changes to Medicare,” said Rep. Gilliard.

 “Our goal is to ensure that no one is left confused or unprepared during the upcoming Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) starting in October,” added Tyrone Pilcher, Executive Officer with CPN.
