Dear friend:
The National Indo-American Association for
Senior Citizens (NIAASC) will be holding
a one-day conference on Saturday, April 29,
2000 at the Kerala Center, 1824 Fairfax Street,
Elmont (Long Island), New York. The conference
starts at 9:00 in the morning and would end
with dinner at 6:00 in the evening. Breakfast,
lunch and two coffee/tea breaks are also
included.
During the 18 months' deliberations NIAASC
has come across elders and community groups
with problems and issues pertaining to Medicare/Medicaid
as well as in understanding the process of
setting up senior citizen programs/centers.
The conferencewill thus focus only these
two areas. Other issues faced by the seniors
in the areas suchas housing for seniors,
economic opportunities, health care will
be addressed in the future conferences/workshops.
The morning session will be devoted to Medicare/Medicaid
led by Yolanda Sanchez Ph.D., project manager
and Ellen Bhang, project coordinator at the
National Asian Pacific Center on Aging (NAPCA),
based in Seattle, Washington State. The presentation
will be followed with an interactive panel
discussion with the attendees, and the panelists
will be selected from among the experts from
the offices of Medicaid, Social Security,
Health Care Finance Administration, and Health
Insurance Counseling and Assistance Program.
The afternoon session will be led by Rena
Iacono, Commissioner of the Department of
Senior Citizen Affairs, Nassau County (an
area agency on aging), followed by interactive
discussion with the panelists experienced
in running senior citizen centers or programs
under various avenues. The purpose of the
afternoon session is to provide information
to community leaders, seniors and others
for setting up senior citizen centers or
programs in their communities.
The conference will be helpful to seniors,
caregivers (professionals as well as family
members), community leaders, organization
representatives. The conference will be inviting
seniors from othere thnic groups, such as
