Want to learn how to stretch your dollars at the store?

Making time in your day to recharge and offer yourself the gift of presence is important for your well-being and can be as simple as tuning in for this virtual class. Find a quiet spot and sign in for as much of this short meditation break as you can. The class will begin with a 15-20 minute guided meditation, followed by 5 minutes of silent meditation and a brief time for reflections/questions.

Advance care planning is an organized process of reflecting upon and discussing goals for future health care decisions. It is an important part of creating an advance directive, which is a written plan that represents your individual preferences and tells others what medical care you want or do not want to receive if you become too ill in the future to tell them.

Contact the Community Health Improvement team to join trained advance care planning facilitator Vikki Swan for this online workshop where you will begin the process of filling out your advance directive. Please email Vikki.Webster@mainehealth.org or call 301-3950 to set up a session.
