WHAT WE’RE LOVING

🙋‍♀️ Member Spotlight: Meet Donna
After retiring from Brigham and Women’s Hospital on December 31, 2022, Donna Michelson continues to embody her role as a physician by running a Walk-with-a-Doc chapter in Brookline, MA today. We spoke to Donna about what it means to “become the boss of your own bones,” the importance of activation energy, and how Hively has helped expedite her discovery process in retirement!

💊 Free Medicare Consultation with Keen 
Earlier this month, we partnered with Scott Matthews, a licensed Medicare advisor from Keen, to host a discussion on “Insider’s guide to Medicare's next enrollment season”. With the enrollment season starting Oct. 15, Scott has offered a free 1-hour, objective, no obligation Medicare consult to our members. Learn more and sign-up for an appointment here.
