Exploring the Topic of Integrative Medicine at the Next PACE Talk

Dr Sarah Vosburgh and Dr Barbara Weiss

The February PACE conversation will take place at Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH), 1000 DePalma Drive, Cobourg, on Wednesday, February 19 at 5:30 PM with a panel of guests exploring the topic of Integrative Medicine.

This panel discussion will include Naturopaths, Dr. Sarah Vosburgh and Dr. Barbara Weiss; Chiropractor, Dr. Alban Merepeza; and Ayurvedic practitioner and Allopathic Cardiologist, Dr. Vineeta Ahooja.

This group of experts from a variety of disciplines will come together to discuss the topic and benefits of Integrative Medicine, which incorporates a mind-body-spirit connection to examine the patient as a whole and offers the integrated use of conventional and complementary practices and therapies for healing.

The session will be moderated by Dr. Mukesh Bhargava, Chief of Staff at NHH. It will be structured to first provide a brief introduction to each panelist and an overview of their field of practice, before delving into key questions designed to stimulate conversation and explore the ways in which various forms of Integrative Medicine complement each other. This panel discussion will share advice for wellness, highlight key tools and techniques utilized for diagnosis, explain treatments and conditions addressed within each field of practice, and look towards the future of Integrative Medicine.

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.
