Kepro is now Acentra Health.

All future podcast episodes will say "Acentra Health" - while older episodes (those posted prior to July 1, 2024) will refer to "Kepro." Rest assured, that all content about our free services for people who have Medicare are accurate. Our name has changed, but our services remain exactly the same.
