Words to live by from a fellow member.

How one local member found lasting care and connection through Generations Advantage.

For Bud Samiljan, Martin’s Point isn’t just his health plan—it’s also where he’s built a career. After first becoming a patient, Bud joined the organization as an employee nearly a decade ago, drawn to the same values that convinced him to enroll in Generations Advantage.

“I liked the way they did things.”

Bud says his experience as a Martin’s Point patient inspired him to join the team.

“I came to work here after I was a patient. I liked the way they did things, and I thought, well, then this might be a good place to work.”

He’s now been part of the Martin’s Point family for almost 10 years.

A local connection that matters.

Bud says he values being part of a Maine-based, not-for-profit organization with deep community roots.

“Being a local company, a not-for-profit, having an extensive network—there’s no other company who can say those things. We’re the only Maine-based Medicare Advantage plan and not-for-profit in that space. That’s huge to me.”

Meet Henry—Bud’s four-legged companion.

Bud also shares his life with Henry, his dog—and fellow Martin’s Point member.

“This is my dog Henry, who has his own plan,” Bud says with a smile.

Bud appreciates knowing that whether he’s at home or traveling with Henry, they’ll find care in-network wherever they go.
