Grand Gateway and Area Churches
Come Together to Bring Vital
Information to the Senior Population
Grand Gateway Area Agency on Aging is developing new
partnerships with the Churches in Northeast Oklahoma. A pilot
program to reach limited income seniors in Rogers and N 0-
wata Counties, began in July, 2011.
Statistically, these two counties have the highest
number of seniors who qualify for assistance
and are not aware a program is available
to assist them with the cost of medications.
Grand Gateway met with the Ministerial Alliance
in Nowata and Claremore to identify the .. ~~~ ..
best way to provide important information to the seniors of
their congregations.
Although this pilot program is focused on providing information
about Medicare Part D Extra Help for prescription drug
costs, we anticipate in the future, using this avenue to distribute
information, such as, Medicare Part D Open Enrollment
and Caregiver Services.
Each community is different and has identified what works
best for them. Nowata has chosen to have a special event
where the seniors come together for lunch and have speakers.
It will be hosted by area churches at the Hillside Christian
Church Fellowship Hall.
Claremore has chosen to have flyers inserted in their church
bulletins and are working on other ideas for their congregations.
We are excited about the success of this initiative and will becontacting
other churches in Northeast Oklahoma to partner
with in the future.
We are very appreciative for the cooperation of the churches
willing to help us inform their senior population.
