Two Successful Medicare Outreach Events in Opelika and Semmes

We had two more successful AU-SHIP Medicare Outreach events on October 22, 2025 in Opelika and Semmes, AL. Thank you to the Lee-Russell Council of Governments and the Semmes Senior Center for hosting us, and for Dawn Glascock and James Roberson from the Alabama State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). We were able to assist 10 patients in Opelika and 12 in Semmes, with an estimated over $7400 saved in drug and premium costs. We were assisted by 7 PharmD student or resident volunteers from our Auburn campus and 2 from our Mobile campus. Thank you to Dr. Glady's Heard for coordinating student involvement on our Mobile campus, and to Dr. Kelly Hester for assisting on our Auburn campus!
