Andy Smith, chief financial officer at Effingham Health System, spoke to the Effingham Sunrise Rotary Club about changes and postponements of various parts of the Affordable Care Act.

He said there are many parts of the act that health care consumers may have been taking advantage of already, and that the health care exchange/marketplace that is planned to be ready by Oct. 1 can help many people in Effingham County.

Smith stated that Effingham Health System is looking forward to working with Effingham citizens to help ensure that they can get the most benefits out of the new health care opportunities.

The Effingham Sunrise Rotary Club meets every Tuesday morning for breakfast at 7:30 in the Christian Center at Guyton Christian Church on 3rd St. in Guyton. Guests are welcome.
