            Have Medicare questions?


             I have answers.                                                                               Hope Award winner Commissioner Ed Ciampi (center)

            I’m Gillie Thorpe, a licensed sales agent in Martin and Saint Lucie
            Counties. When it comes to Medicare, it’s important to consider all of
            your options. What works well for your neighbor may not be the best fit
            for you. I know the ins and outs of Medicare, and I’m ready to answer
            your questions and help you find a plan that fits your needs.


            It’s time to take advantage.
