LEWISTON — AARP Maine will host community conversations on health care around the state this month, including in Lewiston on Monday, Oct. 29.
The Future of Healthcare: A Community Conversation will be from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Callahah Room at the Lewiston Public Library.
The panel will included Hilary Schneider, of the American Cancer Society; Kate Ende, of Consumers for Affordable Health Care; Peter Michaud, of the Maine Medical Association and Henk Goorhuis, of Maine AllCare.
The series will also be held in Presque Isle, Machias and Bar Harbor.
During these open discussions, local residents and community leaders can ask questions, share their concerns and offer ideas on these sometimes complicated issues. Each forum features a panel of local experts including hospital administrators, physicians, public health official, and health care policy experts. Each conversation will feature different local experts.
Forum topics typically include (but are not limited to) Medicare and Medicaid, long-term care, rising prescription drug costs, access to care in rural areas, and the continuing debate in congress regarding health care.
