Choosing the right Medicare plan is an important part of retirement planning but due to its complexity, it can often leave people wondering if they are making the best choices for their health care in retirement. That's why we wanted to bring in an expert to help.

We receive questions from friends, family, and clients alike each year about the nuances of Medicare, so back by popular demand we hosted a Lakeside Chat and invited an expert, Timothy O'Mara, Vice President of the Retirement Institute at Nationwide Financial. 

Tim began his financial services career in 1996 as a financial advisor. Harnessing over 20 years of industry experience he is now dedicated to educating firms, clients, and participants in several confusing yet important retirement decisions. His subject matter expertise focuses on Social Security, Health Care, Medicare, and Long Term Care.

Our Lakeside Chats were started in Spring 2020 to help us feel more connected. Think casual conversation about a wide range of topics. Imagine an online video version of a regular backyard (or front porch) get-together with friends and neighbors. For each Lakeside Chat, a different guest leads the conversation about their area of expertise, their passionate hobby.
