The Medicare Info-Share is organized by Thrive in Place (TIP), a project of Pine River Shares, that provides peer support and resources for ‘aging in place’ in the Pine River Valley. TIP members hold meetings to listen to and engage with vulnerable residents to develop resources that support the needs of these peers. The Info-Share is made possible through a grant from The Next Fifty.
