STANTON - Did you know you may be eligible for a “Welcome to Medicare” visit with your primary care provider?

• Certain screenings, flu and pneumococcal shots, and referrals for other care if needed.
• Height, weight and blood pressure measurement
• Calculation of body mass index
• A simple vision test
• A review of potential risk for depression and level of safety
• Offer discussions related to creating advanced directives
