Diving into the Science of Habits at the Next PACE Talk

The March PACE conversation will take place at Community Health Centres of Northumberland (99 Toronto Road, in Port Hope) on Wednesday, March 18th at 5:30 PM with guest speaker Dr. Mukesh Bhargava exploring the Science of Habits.

Dr. Bhargava has been the Chief of Staff at Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) since July of 2017 and has been practicing medicine in the community and at NHH since 2011.

Through this PACE conversation, Dr. Bhargava will be exploring the habits that make up a person’s lifestyle, and delving into why we form habits, what habits are, and how they are developed. Those looking for techniques to change, break, or introduce a new habit in their own lives will benefit from this informative talk.

The Northumberland PACE talks are free, monthly public education sessions on a broad range of health and wellness topics, and consistently draw large groups of community members with a range of questions and perspectives.

Lasting an hour in length, each PACE event consists of a 30-minute talk, a 20-minute question-and-answer period with the guest speaker and a 10-minute moderator summary. PACE talks start at 5:30 PM on the third Wednesday of each month, and rotate between Cobourg (at NHH, 1000 DePalma Drive) and Port Hope (at the Community Health Centres of Northumberland, 99 Toronto Road).

Bring your questions, your suggestions and your experience and join in what is expected to be another lively discussion.
