Puget Sound
Monthly Marketing Update- April 2026

April is a busy and meaningful month for us at Retirement Connection. Our team is focused on delivering quality work, supporting our partners, and staying actively involved in the communities we serve. This month, in addition to hosting the Evergreen Health Case Management Resource Fair, Barret and I will be attending the National ACMA conference for hospital case managers in Orlando, Florida to spread the word about CareAvailability.com.


We are also excited to celebrate the release of the newest Retirement Connection Guide Puget Sound, now hitting the streets. Over the next two weeks, our team will be distributing thousands of guides across the region, reaching hospitals, senior centers, libraries, veteran offices, and every physician’s office throughout King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties, creating powerful visibility and connection opportunities for those featured.

Retirement Connection Puget Sound Release Party
Wednesday, April 29th, 2026 3:30 pm – 6:00 pm

Tacoma After Party
Thursday, May 7th, 2026 4pm – 6pm

Everything we do, including this newsletter, our release parties, resource fairs, event postings, and CareAvailability.com, is made possible by our sponsors. While many know us for the Retirement Connection Guide, it is just one part of the larger ecosystem we have built to connect families with trusted senior care resources. Advertising is what fuels that mission, and we are grateful for the partners who continue to invest in and grow alongside us.

Thank you to everyone who shares our guides, supports local resources, and continues to partner with us. We appreciate you and look forward to growing together.

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." ~ African Proverb

My team is talented, independent, and can move quickly, and sometimes that speed comes at a cost. When departments work in silos, the disconnects show up later in confusion for our team and our customers. The slower work of coordination is not inefficiency, it is what holds us together. We go further when we move together.
