August 2023 Newsletter
Friends,
Patti: Does laziness run in your family?
Michael: No one runs in my family.
August is showtime for my daughter, then vacation for the family.
Frankie will be in the town performance of "Anastasia" August 2-6 and the next week we’re on vacation before getting ready to get back to school and work.
Some of you might think that all I do is tell dad jokes and go on vacation. Well, I do live a blessed life and I will be back to work full time by the fall busy time. Until then, I hope you are enjoying your summer and I look forward to connecting with you in September.
Kind Regards,
Michael Antonini

Medicare Commits to New Alzheimer’s Drug
Medicare announced that it intends to cover two new Alzheimer’s disease medications, when they are fully approved by the Food and Drug Commission.
This would be covered on Part B, raising prospects that thousands of older adults could have access.
These are promising medications to treat the early stages of the disease. These drugs are Aduhdm and Leqembi. About six million Americans live with this disease.
Without a cure, this disease is expected to sky rocket in the coming decades.

Happy August Birthdays!
Looking forward to continuing a great summer!
Have one last summer BBQ, but don’t be that uncle that when the party starts at 4 PM he starts at Noon.
Call that long lost relative or friend to say hello and catch up.
All the Best,
