AUGUSTA – Heavy Living for ME is holding virtual and in-person listening sessions across the state this fall.
Any Mainer who would like to share their experience and thoughts and be part of the conversation about their community’s health needs is welcome to attend.
“These listening sessions are an opportunity for Mainers to engage in guided discussion with our organization and their neighbors about how Healthy Living for ME can best serve and support all adult Mainers,” said Maija Dyke, Healthy Living for ME business manager. “Whether you’ve used our services, volunteer with a community organization, are a retired or working professional in the healthcare or social services field, or are simply an interested Mainer, we want to hear your insights.”
Earlier this year, Healthy Living for ME launched a Community Health Needs Assessment to support the organization’s mission to coordinate and align community resources to improve the health and wellness of the people of Maine. The listening sessions are a continuation of the CHNA effort.
