If you're still uncertain, the best thing for anyone is to meet with an independent broker you trust to have your best interest—not one who only sells plans for one insurance company. There are many local independent brokers to assist you. Some choices have long-term consequences ($), many of which people don't realize when they first sign up.

The Brooten and Belgrade communities are facing a critical shortage of on-call Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs) and EMTs for Brooten Ambulance.

Without enough trained responders available in Brooten, help must come from Glenwood instead. While that response time is well within state requirements, it’s not the level of service our communities have counted on for decades.

Thoughtful Thursday – Question #2: Here are a few responses from patients, visitors, and staff…

– I invited an acquaintance out for supper, and she told me many times how happy she was that I reached out. People are starving for connection.
– I visited a friend in the hospital.

We’d love to hear yours in the comments! How have you helped someone else recently?
