Shifting Our Focus Back to Prevention and Wellness During March Virtual PACE Talk
This March, the Northumberland PACE Talk series will continue for the 2021-22 season with a discussion exploring How to Shift Our Focus Back to Prevention and Wellness. With the two-year anniversary since the global COVID-19 pandemic was announced coming up, this timely talk will focus on ways to get back to prevention and wellness and focus on personal wellness choices during a time when public health restrictions are loosening. The March conversation will be led by Dr. Wang Xi through Zoom on Wednesday, March 16 at 5:30 PM.
Practicing general medicine, Dr. Xi has cared for patients of all ages in Northumberland County for seven years and is also one of two physicians for the Northumberland Family Health Team Primary Care Memory Clinic. In addition to general medicine, he is knowledgeable and experienced in both inpatient and emergency medicine, which he practices at Northumberland Hills Hospital.
Dr. Xi will bring his expertise to this PACE Talk to explore the value of the annual “physical,” share lifestyle changes for preventative health, ways to focus on personal wellness as public health restrictions loosen, and delve into screening tests family doctors can conduct. Questions from the audience will also be addressed, and these can be pre-submitted by emailing mbhargava@imcare.ca prior to March 16, 2022.
Beginning in 2018, The Northumberland PACE talks have been hosted as free public education sessions on a broad range of health and wellness topics and have consistently drawn large groups of community members with a range of questions and perspectives. Like many other events, The Northumberland PACE Talk series adapted to a new, virtual format as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
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(s) and a short moderator summary. Virtual PACE Talks will follow this same format.
Bring your questions, your suggestions, and your experience and join in what is expected to be another informative discussion.
Pre-registration is required and space is limited to the first 300 registered attendees. This event will be hosted through Zoom, and attendees are asked to login to the event 5 minutes prior to the start.
