Forget Me Not Days

At Bankers Life, our insurance agents and associates witness firsthand the impact that Alzheimer’s and dementia have on our customers, their families and their caregivers. That’s why we established Bankers Life Forget Me Not Days®, our nationwide fundraising campaign to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association®. This June marks the 23rd anniversary of the campaign. Since 2003, we’ve helped raise more than $7.8 million for the Alzheimer’s Association through the Forget Me Not Days campaign and corporate donations.

Explore Medicare Advantage

You have many choices when it comes to Medicare – Let us help you compare Medicare Advantage plans to find the right coverage for you. Medicare Advantage (Part C) is an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare Parts A and B.


Let's Talk About Your Plans for Long-Term Care!

As people live longer and health care expenses continue to rise, the need for long-term care becomes more of a "when" than an "if" situation. That's why it's so important to be prepared and have discussions with your loved ones. Ready to start planning your next steps?

    I couldn’t be happier with Sarah Kelley. She answered all of my questions professionally and so I could understand the Medicare system she was explaining. She also filled out and sent the required paperwork. Which is a huge load off me.
    I would recommend her for any needs you may have regarding Medicare.

    Sarah is extremely knowledgeable and personable. I couldn’t imagine working with another agent. She made me comfortable, laugh, educated, and as she was leaving I felt comfortable with my insurance decisions. Now I can rest at night knowing my family and I are protected in any unforeseen situation. Highly recommend working with Sarah.

Finding Balance: How Financial Therapy Can Transform Your Money Mindset
Managing money can be a significant source of stress in life. For some, a simple tweak in their budget can bring clarity and stability. For others, financial challenges may stem from more complex issues, such as changes in financial circumstances, unhealthy spending habits, or emotional barriers. These difficulties can also impact relationships with partners and hinder progress toward achieving financial wellness. Moreover, our cultural background, religious beliefs, and gender identity often shape how we perceive and interact with money.

Should You Reevaluate Your 2025 Investment Strategy?
It’s common for investors, especially those in or near retirement, to pause and consider whether their financial approach still aligns with their goals.
