We'll help you make sense of Medicare!
Meet The Team
I can never ever say it enough, and I know people are like, okay Sue I've got it ! The most important statement I make regarding Medicare is - "You do not know what you do not know. " This sounds funny, or maybe it does not make sense immediately - but it is imperative we think about it as such. Not knowing what you do not know when it comes to Medicare - will affect you only one way - negatively. The incorrect, or even mediocre or rushed decision, for that matter can devastate your health, finances or your families' futures. I know it sounds harsh, but it it is our job to prevent that situation as much as possible. We have an obligation to our public, our individuals and our clients to constantly remind them we are here, with the tools of compassion, patience and experience to guide them. And, it does not cost them a thing. We do not want to be victims of Peace of mind is priceless in the today's society of uncertainty, so we are so blessed to do what we do everyday.

Sue Lamb, Licensed and Certified Medicare Adviser
Sue's career of 31 years has been completely dedicated to the benefit and insurance industry. This focus has provided Sue the pleasure to meet and work with Individuals, Business Owners, Human Resource Directors and Public Groups that need to transition smoothly and confidently into Medicare, now or in a future time of their lives. Sue not only was an expert benefit resource to clients in the 1990's and 2,000's - but is now working with second and third generations of families and businesses. What a blessing!
Sue has invested an immeasurable amount of time listening to her client's (as well as the public she meets with) questions and concerns about Medicare, Social Security and the potential stress they experience in moving forward in a personal decision for themselves. This has provided Sue invaluable insight on the industry as a whole, and in turn provides the public she serves access to the Medicare information they need, free of charge.
"What I love the most is the human interaction. My client knows I truly care about why they came to see me and they know I will be there for them through the whole process."
"Medicare is so confusing," is the most common thing people tell me in our first appointment - so it is my desire to put them at ease immediately. I tell them to forget any preconceptions they have about uncertainty and let's start fresh thinking simple and clear. Within the first five - ten minutes of our time together, I actually get to see the relief they feel in their face, their shoulders, their voice. And, I get to experience the transition from confusion to understanding. I love helping people and to me this is my favorite part of the time we
spend together. And as well, after they have made their decision on their Medicare benefit, it gives me great satisfaction educating my client on all the particular assets of the plan and showing them how they work.
Sue is very involved with the philanthropy of our agency. Her three children and herself are tireless volunteers to an organization here in Springdale, Ohio called Hands Against Hunger. As well, her kids and Sue love volunteering over the summer to do Senior Bingo, Ice-Cream Socials and Food Pantry work as well.

Our Clients are Saying...
Dear Sue,
I cannot tell you how much of a help you have been to me over these six months prior to taking Medicare. This is all so much to know and all so much to keep track of, I could have never gone through this by myself. I cannot thank you enough all for all you did, really. And you always say it's nothing...... but its everything. See you soon.

Hi Ms Sue! I tell everyone I am so blessed to know you. I am so glad I came to your Medicare Community Meeting from the postcard. As you know when I showed up I was going to be 65. I was so worried because of my prior heart condition and I had no idea if I could afford my medicines or a medicare plan at all. Then we applied for the Medicare Part B and Extra Help for prescriptions, and my prayers were answered. I really needed that help and I got it. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ms. Sue.

Hi all,
"We just wanted to tell you we are so glad we found you all. Quite frankly, before our meeting we just did not understand any of this stuff! You made us realize the money it was costing us. We cannot thank you wonderful ladies enough for fixing everything. You are awesome. The plans we picked have been working so great. Great advice! It has been so much cheaper for us, but better benefits. Looking forward to seeing you soon at Aromas soon and sending smiles your way.
