Asante employees who are reaching retirement age have a lot to think about. Will Medicare be enough to pay for health care? How does Social Security work? How does a person use the money they’ve put aside for their retirement? There are many different pieces to put together.
To help with this puzzle, Asante is holding Senior Retirement Education Sessions in April and May. Employees and their spouses can hear from Regence, Fidelity and Social Security experts to learn about planning for retirement.
The 80-minute sessions will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams, and the three different topics will be covered over three different weeks. You can also find the Medicare 101 presentation and 2023 materials online.
If you have any questions, please email Asante Benefits or call (541) 789-4551. You can also submit a case in the Ask HR section of myHR.

Please, please schedule some of these wonderful sessions after 6 pm. I have been wanting to attend these for several years and they seem to always be during my work hours.
I agree. Cant attend and im close to retirement. The times dont work because i am still at work. Can you tape these for replay when it’s convenient for us??
Hello Angie,
Thank you for the response on this.
We do record the sessions that we can (we are sometimes limited in what can be recorded), and then those sessions are posted to www.asante.org/employee-benefits to be viewed at a later date. For example, in the archive section there is the recorded videos and the slides from some of the sessions that were held in October 2022. Likewise, when the next sessions are recorded, they will be posted on the main page there. There is a also a link on the main page of www.asante.org/employee-benefits titled “Medicare 101 Presentation and 2023 Materials” that has a video and documents.
Please let us know if you have additional questions. You can reach us at 541-789-4551 or by emailing [email protected] from your Asante email address.

I agree, a later time would be more agreeable to myself as well. I have a hard time getting home by 4. Thank you!
Are these being recorded? I work until 1930 and will not be able to be in person. I would love this information.

Might I also add beside varied times, if were were wanting to provide the largest net to reach the most employees, different days as well instead of only on Thursday……… maybe a weekend day.
I am working until 7:30 pm on these days. Are there any accommodations that can be made for those of us working? This is information that I am needing.

Hello,
Thank you for the comments on this.
When we are able to record the webinars, they are posted to www.asante.org/employee-benefits and the Asante News blog as well; they are posted shortly after the webinar date. We are generally unable to record all of the webinars.
For future sessions, we will work on possibly having different schedules.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

How do we get to “Webex” to watch?
Hello,
Thank you for the response.
You can go to https://signin.webex.com/join to register, and then would receive an invitation which would include links to join the meeting.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Just wondering why you can’t “record all of the webinars?” Are you lacking the equipment or the technical expertise? Maybe you need more support? Seems that ensuring the recording would be the best way to make the sessions available to all.
Hello,
Thank you for the response.
Unfortunately, for some of the vendors, the information is proprietary, so their presentation cannot be recorded.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
