You’ve reached age 65 and are eligible for Medicare, or you’re approaching this milestone. What you may have come to expect from a visit with your primary care provider could look different now.

Cheryl Kubisty, M.D., will discuss your “Medicare Wellness Visit” on Wednesday, April 29 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.  in a free, public community  education program hosted by PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center, 1117 Spring St., Friday Harbor. The talk is one in a series of Fireside Chats the medical center is offering as part of  PeaceHealth’s “Healthy You” program.

Dr. Kubisty is an Internal Medicine physician who has special interests in cardiology and geriatrics. She graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine and completed  both a residency at the University of Pittsburgh Health Center Hospitals and a fellowship there in clinical pharmacology and hypertension. She is board certified in internal medicine.

The next Fireside Chat is on May 20 and is a repeat of the popular talk offered earlier this year on “Advance Directives” for end-of-life care.
