In 1998, the Society took a leadership role in making information, education and training services available to professionals, as well as to seniors in the State of Colorado. The changes in Medicare and managed care were central in the delivery of education and training during the year. The Society looks forward to continuing to provide a broad range of services to the membership. Sessions included managed care, Medicare, assisted suicide, Old Age Pension, legislative issues, community resources, needs assessments and more.
