Tenet Will Not Buy Out Eastern
Connecticut Health Network
As I am sure you are aware, Tenet
Healthcare Corporation recently
attempted to buy out the Eastern
Connecticut Health Network, Inc.
(ECHN). ECHN includes Rockville General
Hospital and Manchester Memorial
Hospital and their affiliated practices. I
have received calls and emails regarding
this matter and what these changes will
mean for patients and doctors.
Specifically, I have heard concerns that
patients will lose access to their doctors,
hospitals and medical services.
Applications for the 2014-15 energy assistance program are
underway for all heat sources. Single individuals can gross up to
$32,515 and couples up to $42,519. Assets cannot exceed
$7,000 as a renter and $10,000 as a homeowner. If your assets
exceed the limit and your income is low then you may still
qualify. Documentation needed: last four weeks of income,
bank statements and utility bills. For an appointment or for
more information, call 860-648-6361.

By request, we have decided to offer a
yearly membership for our exercise classes!
Our instructors get paid an hourly rate no
matter how many students are enrolled in
the class, so we have historically charged a
per class fee, payable by a 6 or 8 week
session. Some classes more than pay for the
instructor while other classes fall short, so
we usually break even. In an effort to make
it more affordable for those who would like
to attend multiple exercise classes, we are
going to try an “Annual Membership Fee”
payable in January, cost is $400 for the
year. This will allow you to take as many
classes as you would like throughout the
year for any exercise classes except for Light
Aerobics and International Folk Dances,
which are both drop in programs.
Membership rules will be:
♦ Payment of $400 made in January, runs
January 1 through December 31.
♦ Must still register for ALL classes you
wish to attend.
♦ Prorated refunds will not be given unless
for medical reasons, accompanied by a
doctor’s note.
♦ This service is optional; you may still
register for a session of a particular class
♦ This is a service we are offering to
people 55 and over as a way to save
you money and encourage participation
in more classes.

The CARES group activities are designed to promote wellness for those seniors
who are in need of enhancement and maintenance of productivity in socialization,
mobility, cognition and quality of life.
The CARES group will begin the New Year with a Rockin' January. The entire
month will be devoted to the 50's era. We will reminisce about the fashion, the movies,
the "slang" terms as well as the music of the era. American Bandstand wil be featured
on video. Puzzles include matching jukeboxes and sock hop trivia. The sport of the 50's
social scene was Bowling, so the CARES Bowling Team will participate in their own
tournament. We will have a guest volunteer on January 9th who will make SOUP
with our group. It will be a welcome treat to have with lunch during the cold month,
and prove to be enjoyable as well.
Limited Space Available. Contact Andrea Cofrancesco at 860-648-6357.
