VALDOSTA — Valdosta State University will present Medicare Fraud and More at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 13, in the Health Sciences and Business Administration Building Auditorium. This event is free of charge and open to the public.

Clint A. Bush, resident agent in charge of the United States Secret Service’s Albany, Georgia, Resident Office, will discuss the investigative missions of the United States Secret Service, from enforcing counterfeiting laws to safeguarding the payment and financial systems of the United States across a wide range of financial and computer-based crimes.
