Free Educational Forum Explores Long-Term Care Planning
HENDERSON, Nev.—The City of Henderson Senior Citizens Advisory Commission is
hosting a free educational forum on long-term care insurance at
6 p.m. on Wednesday, July 15, at the Henderson Multigenerational Center, 250 S.
Green Valley Pkwy. Participation is free.
The forum will be presented by Terry Cochran, CLU, ChFC, CLF, who will discuss
the benefits and uses of long-term care products and services. Long-term care
helps meet health or personal needs, including medical and non-medical care for
those with chronic illness or disability.
According to the U. S. Department of Health & Human Services, the government’s
principal agency for protecting the health of all Americans,
9 million men and women over the age of 65 will need long-term care this year.
By 2020, an estimated 12 million Americans will need long-term care.
The purpose of the forum is for participants to gain a better understanding of
long-term care planning and to consider possible future needs. Planning in
advance gives the individual more control over their decisions and may help
preserve independence.
Cochran is the leading general agent at American National Insurance Company, and
a recipient of the National Management Award for 15 years. A member of the
National Association of Insurance & Financial Advisors, Cochran is also an
internationally known speaker and trainer and has co-authored books with actor
Chuck Norris, self-help expert Brian Tracy, motivational speaker Zig Ziglar and
entrepreneur John Assaraf.
The Henderson Senior Citizens Advisory Commission is comprised of appointed
citizen volunteers who make recommendations to the City Council on issues of
interest to senior citizens and others. The commission hosts a free educational
forum every other month.
