Attendees will hear detailed presentations about the planned MultiCare affiliation and have the opportunity to ask questions during an open Q&amp;A session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because many community members have also expressed interest in learning more about Medicare and Medicare Advantage health plans, licensed health insurance agents who specialize in Medicare will host informational tables at each in-person event to answer questions before and after the presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Register for a Town Hall Near You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Registration is required, and seating is limited at each in-person event.
