For many women, this season of life marks the beginning of a meaningful new chapter. Some are preparing for retirement, some are still working, and many are balancing it all while caring for aging parents, supporting adult children, or both. Women are natural caregivers. We spend years showing up for everyone else — family, work, loved ones — often without a second thought. But as we step into this next chapter, caring for you becomes more important than ever. It’s not selfish. It’s essential. The good news? Medicare offers preventive benefits designed to support women’s health, independence, and overall well-being. Understanding how to use your coverage can help you stay ahead of health concerns, reduce stress, and feel confident about the years ahead.

We put together a few quick reminders to help you feel prepared and confident as you head into the new year.
