Tina Fultz

Tina Fultz has been working for Blair Senior Services since December 2012, when she applied for a position open with the Agency.

Tina is the Northern Blair Senior Center Coordinator for Blair Senior Services, Inc.  In that capacity, Tina oversees the day-to-day operations at the Center, planning all activities and preparing and serving of the meals to the consumers who visit the Center.  Tina also holds the paint classes at all of the Blair Senior Services’ Senior Centers.  Tina said, “I used to attend paint classes with my friends and at one of the classes I thought to myself, ‘I could teach this at the Center!’  So it started and has really taken off.  I now have a paint class every month at the Northern Blair Senior Center and every other month at the other Blair Senior Services Centers.”

When asking Tina what she liked most about her job she stated, “This truly is the best job I have ever had! It uses all my skill sets I have acquired over the years.  The most rewarding thing is to work at a place where everyone loves and appreciates you.  I feel that with my job.  It is the most rewarding job I have ever had!”

Tina said one of many special memories she had while working at Blair Senior Services, Inc. was at a Phil McCaulley Concert at the Northern Blair Senior Center.  She stated, “We had a group of Skills consumers who attended Phil’s concert here that day with our senior consumers.  One guest was pretending to strum a guitar in the audience while Phil was performing.  Phil called him up and actually put his guitar on the gentleman and had him play or strum along as he sang.  The gentleman had the biggest smile and all that attended were standing up and clapping and cheering him on.  It just filled my heart with so much love to see all this kindness for him and support for one another.  Such a heartwarming experience!”

Tina stated that Blair Senior Services, Inc. is always in need of volunteers.  She is always looking for volunteers at the Northern Blair Senior Center to help in the kitchen with cleaning and cooking.  Also for volunteers to help teach a craft class, crochet class, etc.  If you are interested in volunteering for this or for one of the many Blair Senior Services, Inc. programs, please call 814-946-1235.

​Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Aging today announced that older adults who will soon be turning 65 and are not yet enrolled in Medicare can attend a free virtual event to learn about their healthcare coverage options when enrolling for Medicare.

 

The "Welcome to Medicare" event on June 23, open from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., will feature national presentations from the State Health Insurance Assistance Programs on Medicare eligibility, enrollment and coverage options. Representatives will be available to answer questions and assist older adults with information to enable them to make choices on Medicare coverage that best meets their needs and lowers their costs.

 

In Pennsylvania, this program is known as APPRISE. Throughout the national presentation, staff from APPRISE will host an exhibit for Pennsylvania and will respond to Medicare questions and provide information about the program. The Center for Advocacy for the Rights and Interests of the Elderly (CARIE) – Pennsylvania's Senior Medicare Patrol – also will join APPRISE to discuss Medicare fraud prevention.

 

"We encourage anyone who is turning 65 soon to join our Virtual Welcome to Medicare Fair. Pennsylvania's Medicare Counseling Program is here to help older adults learn about signing up and navigating the complexities of Medicare, avoiding late enrollment penalties, and preventing fraud," said Susan Neff, APPRISE director. "We also invite those who attend to visit the Pennsylvania-specific virtual exhibit at any time during the event. The APPRISE and CARIE staff look forward to chatting with seniors about their Medicare enrollment concerns."

 

Older adults can register for this event here

 

The APPRISE Program has nearly 800 trained counselors in the commonwealth who provide free, confidential, objective, and easy-to-understand information about original Medicare, Medicare Advantage Plans, prescription drug plans, and Medicare Supplement plans, and allows Medicare beneficiaries to compare plans and determine what best meets their needs and save them money.
