KATHLEEN FISH | Independent Sales Agent

Throughout the past few years, I have watched many of my family and friends struggle to understand and navigate Medicare. Many of them enroll in plans that do not cover their needs, or don’t fit into their budget. This has made me realize the vast demand for seniors who are in need of guidance in understanding and enrolling in the Medicare plan that best suits their healthcare needs. My goal is to advocate, support, and guide individuals toward the plan most suitable for them, at a cost that is affordable. In doing so, I aim to support my clients physically and emotionally through a Medicare system that is complicated and constantly changing. My life away from work is focused on spending time with my husband of 32 years and my three adult boys.
