My Care, My Choice Training Webinar

The SCAN Foundation is hosting training webinars on the My Care, My Choice website for community-based organizations, community advocates, and advisors. The webinars will walk attendees through the website and answer questions so that attendees can share My Care, My Choice with beneficiaries, their family members, and community colleagues throughout the year.

Californians with Medicare and Medi-Cal have many options to get their health care. However, figuring out which options might be a “best fit” can be really confusing.

My Care, My Choice is a unique website designed to help Californians with Medicare and Medi-Cal learn about the range of care options in their local area so they can get the most from their health care coverage. By answering a few questions, My Care, My Choice provides a list of local care choices to fit a person’s care needs and preferences. My Care, My Choice was developed by The SCAN Foundation and its partners using federal and state data.
