TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAMEBEHIND-THE-SCENES TOUR OF MILLER PARK
Think of it as your own Spring Training—a chance to see the best of Milwaukee Brewers baseball, even before Opening Day. Grab your cap and glove for a private tour of Miller Park that includes a stop in the visitors’ dugout and club house, the luxury suite level, press box, Bob Uecker’s broadcast booth, and other behind-the-scenes attractions. Then it’s on to lunch at Friday’s Front Row restaurant, located in the stadium, and overlooking our hometown “field of dreams.”
Although the dome is closed for winter, please note that Miller Park is not fully heated—wear a coat and comfortable shoes for this 70-minute walking or wheelchair accessible tour. Sign up by January 8 and include payment of $18 per person to take the field with your Regency teammates!
Escape the cold and spend an afternoon island hopping in the Philippines with world traveler Nate Hunt. His personal collection of photos and captivating stories are so vivid you can almost feel the white sand between your toes and smell the tropical flowers of this Southeast Asian country of more than 7,000 islands. Beautiful beaches are the star of this virtual sightseeing tour, but you’ll also venture into the rainforest to learn about the adorable tarsier—a small primate and native of the Philippine islands whose unique look served as the inspiration for everyone’s favorite movie alien, E.T.

All About New Berlin
Turning 100 years old is cause for celebration, and
the Regency campus in New Berlin is proud to be
home to three Centenarians! With so many years of
wisdom and experience, they shared these tips and
highlights with the youngsters among us:
“I cherish the time I spent in school with my sister. Now I enjoy a little dancing and gardening.”
– Hannah Youngbluth
“Even at 100, I will never forget my wedding day in 1940 or the
first time I saw my baby’s face.” – Cora Johansen
“My greatest adventure was marrying Bob. I still like little adventures—you don’t have to go far to see new things.” – Alice Chada

The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is a free benefit to all Medicare Part B beneficiaries after their first 12 months of enrollment. It allows you and your healthcare provider to develop or update a personalized strategy for managing your health and preventing disease.
Preparing for the visit
Prior to your appointment, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire and bring it with you to your wellness visit. The questions will assist in developing or updating a preventive strategy.
During the visit, your provider will:
• Measure your height, weight, and blood pressure, and calculate your body mass index.
• Discuss risk factors and screen for depression, memory loss, and other behavioral health conditions, and assess your ability to function safely in your home and the community.
• Provide counseling and referrals that address any health issues identified during the visit.
• Provide a written checklist for other preventive services covered by Medicare.
• Discuss healthcare advance directives.
Cost of the visit
This benefit is free when you see a ProHealth Care provider, as long as it has been at least 366 days since your previous Annual Wellness Visit. The Medicare Part B deductible doesn’t apply. If additional tests or services are performed, you may incur coinsurance fees and your Part B deductible may apply.
Visit exclusions
The visit does not include a comprehensive physical exam, discussion, or testing regarding any new or current medical problems, conditions, or medications.

Nate Hunt and his wife Jessica have visited more than 26 countries with nothing more than what they could carry in their backpacks—can you imagine living out of one small bag for weeks on end?
In the first of their new two-part presentation—“What’s In My Backpack”—they are not only sharing their experi-ences, but they will also open their packs so you can
see exactly what they take on their adventures. Look inside and see what to bring when you can only bring so much, then learn how they research and plan for safe, fun trips with a bare minimum of baggage.
Born and raised in Wisconsin, this wanderlust couple traded their comfortable lives and successful careers to explore the world. Satisfy your own curiosity about distant lands as they share photos and offer tips for unique travels.

Winter Blues Disappear
January can seem a little dreary, but we have just the trick to cheer you up—the magic of Bob Bohm. Bob’s performances mix magic and fun with laugh-out-loud audience participation, live animals, and side-splitting humor designed to delight and amaze.
Bob is a Wisconsin native whose career started with a magic kit he received for his 10th birthday. Now he performs all over the country and is known for his interactive style. Whether it’s a demonstration of mentalism or something as surprising as sawing a person in half, he’ll make you believe in magic, too.
This event is open to the public, so invite your grandchildren, friends, or anyone who could use a warm laugh!

A truly enlightening experience, the Lights of the Lakes is a fascinating presentation that explores both the lighthouses along the shores of the Great Lakes, and the shipwrecks that sit at the bottom of them.
Photographer Phil Block created a powerful combination of breathtaking images, informative narratives, and haunting sound effects to tell maritime stories from a sailor’s perspective. From both a historical and scientific standpoint, he offers new insight into these beautiful observation stations.
More than 4,000 people have already enjoyed this special program, and now we invite you to learn more about these shoreline icons.
