Northeast Ohio Seniors Defying The Odds Featured On 2019 "Akron 60 Strong" Calendar

AKRON, Ohio, Oct. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Twelve Northeast Ohio residents in their sixties were chosen to be featured on an exclusive 2019 calendar that highlights events and activities around the Akron area, and serves as a roadmap to good health.

A panel of celebrity judges selected the 60 Strong Ambassadors because they have overcome major health issues, lost or cared for loved ones, climbed mountains, reached new levels of fitness or participated in charitable work. Each one has a different story to tell. And they all exemplify how life after sixty can be a positive, vibrant and active time. In addition to appearing in the Akron 60 Strong calendar, winners received "celebrity treatment" and participated in a professional photo shoot.

The winners are as follows:

• John Amedeo, Akron
• Clarence Bechter, New Franklin
• Angela Bosela, Copley
• Fred Franks, Sr., Akron
• Sandra Fugitt, Uniontown
• Ellen Herman, Akron
• Dianne Howell, Wadsworth
• Linda Ivery, Akron
• Claude Keim, Medina
• Michael Neag, Copley
• Madeline Schwab, Wadsworth
• Karen Watson, Stow

60 Strong Ambassadors will appear at a free Medicare Shop and Compare event on Thursday, October 25 at the Akron Hilton/ Akron Fairlawn from 5-9 p.m. The event is an opportunity for the community to learn about the Medicare Advantage Plans and the benefits they offer. Anyone interested in attending can sign up on the website: Paradigmseniorcareadvantage.com.  The Ambassadors will be signing Akron 60 Strong calendars, which will be available for purchase online at akron60strong.com beginning October 30. The cost is $15 for each calendar and all online sales will benefit Faithful Servants Care Center, a nonprofit that provides urgent healthcare services to the uninsured.

Akron 60 Strong is a celebration of grit and resilience sponsored by Pioneer Physicians Network as they launch Paradigm Senior Care Advantage, a new program for their Medicare Advantage patients. This program is designed to keep Northeast Ohio seniors active and help them navigate the complexities of Medicare coverage and other healthcare decisions, which is why the calendar will include important timeline information regarding Medicare signup deadlines.
