Health insurance can feel like a whole other language. Whether you’re getting ready to turn 26 and figure it out on your own, exploring options beyond your current employer, or simply realizing you have no idea what all those insurance terms mean, we’ve got you!

Join us this Wednesday, October 21, as Carrie Rees from Chittick Insurance breaks down the basics and helps you learn which questions to ask to get the answers you need, whether you’re choosing coverage through your employer or exploring the marketplace.

You don’t need to know the right questions before you come. That’s what we’re here to help with!

Come ready to learn, ask questions, and feel a little more confident about navigating the world of health insurance. Because adulting is hard enough without having to figure everything out alone!
