From the SC Progressive Network’s Lead Navigator in Charleston, Loreen Myerson:<\/p>\n
Dear Friends, Trusted Allies, and Valued Volunteers:<\/p>\n
I am writing to request your help with a matter of great urgency. The demand for Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace policies has been intense since its historic launch on Oct. 1. As an ACA navigator for the SC Progressive Network<\/a>, it has been my honor to assist dozens of SC families in enrolling in comprehensive health insurance policies at a reduced cost.<\/p>\n I have spoken with hundreds of members of civic groups throughout our region, educating them about the implications of the ACA for South Carolina’s families and small businesses. Yet, obviously, no one person can meet this great need alone. That’s why I’m writing to you.<\/p>\n On Monday, Dec. 2, the SC Progressive Network<\/a> will launch its Lowcountry Surge Center<\/strong> at 360 Concord St. in Charleston, on Fountain Walk, near the aquarium. I ask you to please sign up for a shift or three between Dec. 2 and Dec. 13 to help folks to improve their lives by enrolling in the Affordable Care Act Marketplace policies.<\/p>\n We will have trained healthcare navigators and certified application counselors on hand to meet with the public both by appointment and on a walk-in basis. Additionally, we require volunteers to make the public feel comfortable and welcome as they arrive; register voters; supervise children in the arts and crafts area; answer phones and schedule appointments; distribute flyers, etc. We will be working hard, but we will celebrate with each new application.<\/p>\n Please take a moment to review the sign-up sheet here<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more information, call (843) 475-2859.<\/p>\n Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From the SC Progressive Network’s Lead Navigator in Charleston, Loreen Myerson: Dear Friends, Trusted Allies, and Valued Volunteers: I am writing to request your help with a matter of great urgency.
