Our Program For Wednesday, August 7, 2019

It is impossible to leave Dr. Krome’s treatment room without an easy to understand knowledge of what is wrong with your pet. Dr. Krome, previously a professor at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, is forever teaching. As a veterinarian, Dr. Krome’s greatest joy comes from imparting knowledge of disease and treatment to a pet’s owner.

His presentation will be discussing the incredible advancements in veterinary medicine over the last 30 years.

Program

Diane Morales talked healthcare in Sonoma County to our club today. Diane is an advocate for those seeking health insurance.  Starting with networks, doctor and plan, she does her best to find the best product for her clients.

Sonoma County is blessed with 3 quality hospitals including a major trauma center (Memorial). Diane helps her clients navigate the healthcare landscape and finding the best fit. Her main focus is on individual clients who are on Medicare. Diane shared a story of a client who had to choose between food and medicine. She helped the client get food delivered from a senìor program that day. She does not charge clients for her services, but is paid by insurers.

Diane answered a number of questions from the club. It was an interesting and informative program. In honor of her friend Debbie who is battling cancer, Diane generously donated $100 to our club.
