“Unlocking the Mystery of Medicare” remains a top priority for the State Health Insurance Program (SHIP), offering personalized counseling services, information, and support to individuals aged 65 and older or those under 65 with disabilities. CMPDD’s commitment to community outreach and education about Medicare has led to an impactful partnership with the Jackson Medical Mall Foundation (JMMF), providing a centralized hub for beneficiaries to access needed resources.
In February 2023, CMPDD initiated this partnership, recognizing the importance of offering Medicare beneficiaries a convenient location to obtain information and consult with counselors, especially during open enrollment periods. The launch of Kiosk 8 on August 11, 2023, presented a golden opportunity for CMPDD to showcase the SHIP Program’s services and establish a consistent presence within the Jackson Medical Mall.
After collaborating closely with the JMMF marketing team, CMPDD unveiled a fully wrapped SHIP kiosk, prominently featuring the program’s logo and contact details. This addition not only serves as an effective marketing tool but also enhances accessibility to SHIP services, providing beneficiaries with a convenient avenue to seek assistance and gather valuable Medicare-related information.
The SHIP kiosk, now a fixture in the Jackson Medical Mall, offers individuals the opportunity to meet with counselors weekly or simply pick up informative materials on Medicare. This initiative represents a significant step forward in empowering beneficiaries and their families to make informed
healthcare decisions.
As part of our ongoing commitment to community welfare, CMPDD encourages individuals seeking guidance on Medicare to contact a SHIP Counselor at 601.981.1516. Together, let’s navigate the complexities of Medicare with confidence and clarity.
