To the Editor,

This year marks the 20th year that Lapham Community Center has assisted New Canaan residents with Medicare Part D enrollment, offering invaluable support and guidance through the process of evaluating and choosing a plan. This year’s dedicated counselors – Dick Neville, Sally Campbell, Kim Campbell, Shean-Mei Sheu, Shannon Vallerie, and Kathy Collins – provided over 342 hours of service. Our counselors met with 400 residents, 146 of whom (36%) chose to change their Part D plan, leading to a combined savings of $384,000.
