The Aroostook Medical Center and Maine Agri-Women are once again partnering to offer a free community program designed to educate and bring awareness to issues important to women.

The third annual County Women’s Health Conference will be held at TAMC’s conference center on Saturday, April 14, from 8:00 a.m. to noon.

The conference provides the opportunity to learn more about key issues related to women’s health and general wellbeing, as well as to meet with professionals to ask questions.

“This conference is geared to all women, all ages, from all walks of life,” said Jamie Guerrette, community health specialist at TAMC.  “We have found a great partnership with the Maine Agri-Women and we’re so excited to be able to work together on this project.”

The conference includes four educational workshops:

Who Are We Caring For?

Women in the millennial generation are often caring for their adult children,

grandchildren and/or aging parents.  How do we take care of ourselves when we are

caring for others? Learn about stress awareness, coping and self-care with Ralph McPherson, a licensed clinical social worker for Beacon Health.

Learn what you need to know about adult use marijuana with Lola Poirier, a substance use prevention counselor from ACAP.

“We are very proud to be a co-sponsor of this event,” said Pam Townsend, president of Maine Agri-Women. “We are partnering with TAMC because we believe that women's health is a very important topic. We as women are always busy making sure that everyone else in the family is taken care of and often neglect our own wellbeing.”

A County-style brunch will be offered, including ployes, a yogurt bar, and Farm Fry from Penobscot McCrum LLC, among other food items. Also included in the conference will be educational displays, door prizes and giveaways.

While the event is free, pre-registration is required since space is limited.  For more information or to register for the County Women’s Health Conference visit www.tamc.org or call the registration line at 207-768-4033
