Overview:

A wealth of health information is now available on the Web-much of it helpful to seniors. The Web is also a good source of Medicare information. But the older adult population may be less familiar with using the Web than other groups. How can you help your clients navigate a sea of sites to find the information they need?

What You Will Learn:

In this Webinar, we'll answer that question. You'll learn the following:

• Which Web sites have an abundance of health and Medicare information.
• How to determine if a site is credible.
• How to decide if it's safe to enter your information on a site.
• How to use search to most effectively find health topics you're looking for.

You'll come away with a better understanding of how to guide your clients, plus a list of reliable, easy-to-use sites to get you both started.
