MetroHealth, A Senior Centered Practice

Most people have heard the term 501 c3, 501 c, or perhaps it was 501 3 nonprofit organization. But what do these terms mean? Well, a not for profit organization or nonprofit group can apply to the IRS to be considered for this special status. The non profit must meet specific criteria and engage in charitable, educational, or religious activities. In fact, OurSeniors.Net and OurSeniors.org  are parts of a 501 3 c nonprofit organization. This means that donations made to  OurSeniors.Net or OurSeniors.org  are tax deductible. 501 c3 status means that the IRS recognizes the good work done by our non profit. The sponsors and advertisers who support the OurSeniors.Net nonprofit organization deserve your support in turn. One of those very important supporters is MetroHealth, a provider of expert primary care to seniors on Medicare in Orange and Volusia counties. MetroHealth’s professionals are primary care physician doctors, geriatric specialists who focus on senior care. The physicians in primary care and the other medical professionals at MetroHealth prioritize the unique needs and preferences of older adults. They are empathetic, compassionate, and attentive listeners.
