#JanuaryWebinar 💡The Importance of the Little-Known but Crucial Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) Did you know that the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) is one of the most vital, yet often overlooked, players in the fight against healthcare fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA)? We’re thrilled to announce an exclusive webinar featuring J Stone, a nationally recognized Medicare FWA expert, payment integrity champion, and retired CMS executive, alongside Eric Rubenstein, MSCJ, CFE.

🌟This holiday season, we are reminded that it's not only about receiving, but also about giving and making others feel special💖 We just had the privilege of donating $500 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in honor of Jan Stankiewicz McCarthy, the winner of our Holiday Pet Contest. Jan's chosen charity is near and dear to her heart, and we're honored to contribute to such an impactful cause. We also want to highlight a wonderful initiative shared by our very own Carey Mead: ⭐Storyography by Tricia⭐ https://lnkd.in/dMj99n8s This project preserves the stories of elders for future generations, capturing their voices and turning them into cherished keepsakes. Through personal interviews and recordings, #StoryographyByTricia ensures that loved ones' stories are never forgotten. We believe that small acts of kindness—whether it’s a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or preserving the stories of our elders—can create a lasting impact. This time of year, we are reminded that the greatest gifts are those that make others feel valued and cared for. As Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” 🙏Please consider donating and supporting those in need this season 🎁 #AdvizeHealth #Philanthropy #CommunityCare #ElderCare #GivingBack #StJude #Storyography #Healthcare

2024… 💙The year we deepened our bond as a mindful community! This year, we embraced the powerful idea that: "We are all flowers in a garden, each with a unique purpose. Together, we become a mighty force when we focus on what we have to offer, rather than what we lack." — Yarnell McGee RN, BSN, CPCM, CPC 🧘♂️🧘Through yoga sessions, mindfulness practices, and shared reflections, we cultivated a space where our individual strengths thrived. This year wasn’t just about work—it was about connection, purpose, and the transformative power of collaboration. At Advize, it was a year of discovering how mindfulness nurtures both healthy minds and healthy hearts, fueling our growth together while strengthening the impact we make in healthcare. We’re transforming healthcare and our industry, one heart at a time, by advocating for mental health and protecting the well-being of our team. 🙏And we’re just getting started!
