I’m excited to share that I recently celebrated the ribbon cutting for my new independent Medicare brokerage, Bridge to Coverage, conveniently located in our commercial building, Law Office Spaces in Mt. Lebanon.

Bridge to Coverage helps individuals who are aging into Medicare, as well as Pennsylvania residents who would benefit from a review of their current Medicare coverage.

Thank you to the South West Regional Chamber Of Commerce and everyone who has offered encouragement and support of the Alzheimer's Association as I launch Bridge to Coverage. I’m grateful to be part of such a supportive community!
