Medicare Open Enrollment is here and it can be a confusing process, especially with phone calls about adding Medicare Advantage (Part C).
Here is a brief introduction to Medicare and its different parts and coverage explained. Helping our elders understand their options is important. We hope folks can learn alongside their elder and support one another in finding the best plan that works for them.
Folks that live within the FDIHB service area are invited to meet with our FDIHB Contact Representatives if they have any questions or need help finding coverage that fits their needs and budget.
Feel free to call:
Stephanie Bryant, 928-729-8437
Delilah Endischee-Tsosie, 928-729-8098
Alberta Wauneka, 928-729-8096

Last Friday, FDIHB staff picked up trash along Route N7. It was a great opportunity for staff to enjoy the outdoors, exercise, and beautify the area. Thank you to the community for driving safely and cautiously!

Through Council Delegate Dr. Andy Nez's Adopt-a-Highway program, FDIHB "adopted" a section of N7 running south of FDIHB housing, TMC, and NDBWC. This is our first bi-annual clean-up and it brings pride and accountability to do better.

We feel grateful to live in such a beautiful place, and it truly makes a difference when it’s clean. Let's all do our part to protect and keep Mother Nature clean!
