Felice Hannah Honored by US Agency on Aging
by Anne Silverstein
 Felice Hannah, the Retiree Chapter Outreach Coordinator, was one of 10 senior volunteers nationwide to be honored by the US Administration on Aging at a ceremony in Washington DC in August.
The volunteers serve as community educators in the battle against Medicare/Medicaid fraud and abuse. “Thank you for providing outstanding support for our members,” said CSA President Ernest Logan when he heard about the honor bestowed upon Ms. Hannah.
Cindy Padilla, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Aging, presented the awards at a luncheon during a three-day conference entitled “Leading the Grassroots Fight Against Fraud” held Aug. 9-11.
Ms. Hannah is a volunteer with the Senior Medicare Patrol, which was established in 1997; the program recruits and trains volunteers to teach senior citizens and their family members to be alert to health care fraud. As Outreach Coordinator, Ms. Hannah offers workshops on many entitlement programs, counsels individual members and oversees the Outreach Programs run by the Regional Units.
