Preserving Medicare Part D

From 2011 to 2013, I had had the pleasure of working with members of the Medicare Rx Access Network of Florida, providing information and assistance with legislative outreach and education for the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit. The Medicare Rx Access Network of Florida represents seniors, patients, people with disabilities and chronic diseases, pharmacists, healthcare providers and businesses.

I drafted and pitched this opinion editorial for Austin Curry, executive director of Elder Care Advocacy of Florida, and secured media coverage in six Florida outlets.

• ​​​​​​​Marco Island Sun Times
With this opinion editorial we reached an estimated 900,000+ Floridians.
Legislative
I worked with coalition members to coordinate letters campaigns for legislative issues that would threaten the success of the program. 
We addressed issues such as the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), mandatory rebates and changing the "noninterference" clause in Medicare Part D.
Message Development
I distilled complex information to provide patients with concise information about ongoing legislative changes to the Part D program.
We provided members with informational sheets they could use to educate others about the benefits of Medicare Part D.
Social Media

Social Media
We launched a Facebook and Twitter account for the coalition to engage with social media, as well as provide Medicare Part D information to seniors. We also hosted two luncheon webinars for our members. For these events, we brought in expert guest speakers that shared information about the factors affecting health care in our country and the development of new treatments.
